ID Generator in PHP with Source Code

ID Generator in PHP

This simple project is called the Simple ID Generator Web App. This project was developed using PHP GD Library's Image Function. This project will help you to learn to create a web application that generates an Image that is mainly featured to create an Identification Card in this simple project. The source code contains the functions and ideas/strategies of the design positions, sizes, and many more on creating an Image using PHP. This simple project was developed using PHP, GD Library, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Bootstrap for the design. To download the Bootstrap CSS Framework, just click the link https://getbootstrap.com

How it works

Users only need to input their name and birthday. After that, click the "Generate ID" button to create their ID Card. The ID Card containing a static/default picture, Auto-Generated ID Number, Name, Auto calculated age, birthdate, date issued, header, footer, and background image.

Features

• Personal Information Form Field
• Generate ID Card
• Display Generated ID Card
• Download the Generated ID Card

Plugins Used

• Air Datepicker
• Bootstrap
• Jquery.min.js

As I have said above that the input fields are only for name and birthday which means some other information is programmed statically. It is my challenge for you as a PHP Coder to create additional fields to dynamically set the other information. By that, this will help you to understand more on how to use the GD Library's Image function.

If you don't want my ID template, you are free to create your own using Adobe Photoshop
