Dynamic Images

[princemac]

Hi, please bear with me, I think this is the right forum for this.

 

I'm looking to create a dynamic image with php, I was using this tutorial:

http://www.phpmix.org/how_to_create_a_dynamic_signature

 

Its basically what I want but it also lacks part of what I want, I want to be able to set an image as the background image and put another one on top of that one dynamically, in a position specified by x,y coordinates, like if you are adding text, but I'm no good at php coding.

 

So basically, just like the tutorial above, I want to create a dynamic image, with the ability to add text to the image through php (specifying fornt,font size and color and x,y coordiate) and add a images on top of the background image specifying x,y coordiantes. (like the tutorial I want to be able to upload the images to one folder and just put the file name in the php code)

 

I'm not sure of the specifying font part, if its possible to upload the font file (.ttf) somewhere on the server and specify the location in the php code.

 

In the end like the tutorial, be able to link to an image (image.png) that has the php code in that that dynamically generates the image based on the code in it.

 

Thanks a million for any help.
