I'm working on a project in PHP that needs to render dynamically-created SVG images to PNG (or GIF if not PNG) format. I know I can do this by invoking a SVG renderer like rsvg, or with an extension like ImageMagick, which isn't that common*.
Is there a "drop-in" style library that can render SVG using things like GD and DomDocument?
* Available in common webhosts and in packages like XAMPP.
To clarify, I already have the SVG itself generated, I just need it to be rendered server-size.
It shouldn't be too hard to do yourself. SVG is a fairly simple specification, so there shouldn't be too much guess work building a converter... The only difficult parts that I can see would be gradients, markers and filters. The rest should be relatively straight forward when looking at the gd functions available.
Obviously, the best would be to find a stand alone library, but if you can't you could always roll one yourself...
If you have Java on the server, you can use Batik's SVG Rasterizer, which comes as a standalone executable JAR. Call it using PHP exec.
