imagedestroy
Destroy an image
Description
bool imagedestroy(GdImage $image)
Note:
This function has no effect. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, this function was used to close the resource.
Prior to PHP 8.0.0, imagedestroy freed any memory
associated with the image resource. As of 8.0.0,
the GD extension uses objects instead of resources, and objects
cannot be explicitly closed.
Parameters
-
image
-
A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions,
such as imagecreatetruecolor.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Using imagedestroy prior to PHP 8.0.0
<?php
// create a 100 x 100 image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);
// alter or save the image
// frees image from memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>
