If you're using PHP < 5.5 you can use this code to add the same functionality. If you pass the wrong $mode in it will silently fail. You might want to add your own error handling for this case.
<?php

$max_x = imagesx($image) - 1;
$half_x = $max_x / 2;
$sy = imagesy($image);
$temp_image = imageistruecolor($image)? imagecreatetruecolor(1, $sy): imagecreate(1, $sy);
for ($x = 0; $x < $half_x; ++$x) {
imagecopy($temp_image, $image, 0, 0, $x, 0, 1, $sy);
