Answer 1

to do this kind of work, you need to use GD library or ImageMagic

this code work with GD library

       $photo_to_paste="image_to_paste.jpg";  //image 321 x 400
       $white_image="white_image.jpg"; //873 x 622 

        $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($white_image);
        $condicion = GetImageSize($photo_to_paste); // image format?

        if($condicion[2] == 1) //gif
        $im2 = imagecreatefromgif("$photo_to_paste");
        if($condicion[2] == 2) //jpg
        $im2 = imagecreatefromjpeg("$photo_to_paste");
        if($condicion[2] == 3) //png
        $im2 = imagecreatefrompng("$photo_to_paste");

        imagecopy($im, $im2, (imagesx($im)/2)-(imagesx($im2)/2), (imagesy($im)/2)-(imagesy($im2)/2), 0, 0, imagesx($im2), imagesy($im2));

        imagejpeg($im,"test4.jpg",90);
        imagedestroy($im);
        imagedestroy($im2);

that code will output:
