PHP imagecolormatch Function: Matching Palette Colors to True‑Color Images

PHP provides the imagecolormatch function to adjust the colors of a palette‑based image so that they more closely match those of a true‑color image.

Signature: bool imagecolormatch(resource $image1, resource $image2)

Parameters:

$image1 – a true‑color image resource.

$image2 – a palette image resource that must have the same dimensions as $image1 .

Return value: Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Example usage:

This example creates a true‑color image and a same‑size palette image, allocates several colors to the palette image, calls imagecolormatch to align the colors, and finally releases the resources.
