note 78399 added to function.imagecolorallocate

hex2color once again: this is the simplest possible method :) <?php $htmlcolor = "FF9900"; $color = hexdec ($htmlcolor); ?> Let's face the truth: for the truecolor images, imagecolorallocate doesn't allocate anything, but simply makes a hex representation of color, treats it as one large hex number, and calculates an int value from it. Oh, it's probably a good idea to validate $htmlcolor first, like: <?php if (!eregi('^[0-9a-f]{6}$', $htmlcolor)) die ("bad color"); ?> ---- Server IP: 195.136.184.34 Probable Submitter: 83.18.8.30 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecolorallocate.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78399 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78399 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78399 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
