function image_hex2rgba

Converts a hex string to RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha) integer values and tidies up the input hex color string.

Parameters

$hex: A string specifying an RGBA color in the formats: '#RGB', 'RGB', '#RGBA', 'RGBA', '#RRGGBB', 'RRGGBB', '#RRGGBBAA', 'RRGGBBAA' or '0xRRGGBBAA'. The color is passed by reference to tidy up the string for consistency.

Return value

An associative array with 'red', 'green', 'blue' and 'alpha' as keys and corresponding: color decimal integer as values or FALSE on an invalid color hex string.
