How to add WP variables to GD imagepng












1














I'm trying to add a logged in user ID (wordpress) to a GD image.



When I use a constant it displays the png correctly, when calling a variable it shows a broken image link.



The call is done through a shortcode calling:



/* ================== GET PIC USER ================== */
function get_pic_user($atts) {
$myphp_folder = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/make-pic.php';
$html = '<img src="'.$myphp_folder.'" alt="Image created by a PHP script" width="1000" height="768" align="middle">';
return $html;
}
add_shortcode( 'display_get_pic_user', 'get_pic_user' );


The php behind the make-pic.php is:



<?php
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$string_user = $user->id;
$im = imagecreatefrompng("../my_user_pic.png");
header("Content-type: image/png");
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 51, 51, 51);
imagestring($im, 21, 500, 350, $string_user, $color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
exit;


So this works:



<?php
$string_user = 15;
$im = imagecreatefrompng("../my_user_pic.png");


and this doesn't:



<?php
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$string_user = $user->id;
$im = imagecreatefrompng("../my_user_pic.png");


Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Thank you

After adding several REQUIRE and other solutions issues still manifested. A working solution that I came up with was to add the IMAGEPNG just inline with code, however using a OB_START / OB_GET_CLEAN. The following works:



The image is still called from the page with a shortcode [display_get_pic_user]. The code behind it is:



function get_pic_user() {
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$string_user = $user->id;
$im = imagecreatefrompng("../my_user_pic.png");
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 51, 51, 51);
imagestring($im, 21, 500, 350, $string_user, $color);
ob_start();
imagepng($im);
$rawImageBytes = ob_get_clean();
$html = "<img src='data:image/png;base64," . base64_encode( $rawImageBytes ) . "' align=middle/>";
imagedestroy($im);
return $html;
}
add_shortcode( 'display_get_pic_user', 'get_pic_user' );
