I modified cbl25's function to allow it to rotate an image either clock wise or counter clock wise.
<?php
function rotateImage($image, $direction) {
$direction = strtolower($direction);
$degrees = $direction == 'cw' ? 270 : ($direction == 'ccw' ? 90 : NULL);
if(!$degrees)
return $image;
$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);
$side = $width > $height ? $width : $height;
$imageSquare = imagecreatetruecolor($side, $side);
imagecopy($imageSquare, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);
imagedestroy($image);
$imageSquare = imagerotate($imageSquare, $degrees, 0, -1);
$image = imagecreatetruecolor($height, $width);
$x = $degrees == 90 ? 0 : ($height > $width ? 0 : ($side - $height));
$y = $degrees == 270 ? 0 : ($height < $width ? 0 : ($side - $width));
imagecopy($image, $imageSquare, 0, 0, $x, $y, $height, $width);
imagedestroy($imageSquare);
return $image;
}
$image = rotateImage($image, 'cw');
$image = rotateImage($image, 'ccw');
?>
