[SOLVED] image save help !

[d.shankar]

Hello all this may sound a bit tricky. but u guys can sort it off

 

I have generated a php gd image and added some text to it.

 

Till here its fine...

 

Now i need to save that image with the text created using gd automatically to the directory how to do that ???

Use the second parameter of imagejpeg(), imagepng(), or whichever function you use to output your image in order to save it instead.

No dude.. my code is working fine .. i do use imagepng(). see below

 

<?php

$image_path="image.PNG";
$font="arial.ttf";
$string="text over image";

$im    		 = 	imagecreatefrompng($image_path);

$colorwhite  = 	imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);



imagettftext($im, 6.5, 0, 11,63, $colorwhite, $font,$string);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

 

 

Now i need to save the image in that very same directory automatically !

Okay...imagepng() takes a second parameter, the pathname of the file in which you want it saved.  Read the manual page on imagepng(). >_>

The only way to use php effectively and get it to do what you want, is to read the php manual section for the function(s) you are attempting to use.

The manual is the best PHP tutorial you could ask for.

That is incorrect. When learning anything, finding out the basics of what you are doing will always help you do that thing easier, better, faster, and safer.

 

Would you attempt mountain climbing without first learning how?

 

Using any function, such as imagepng(), easier, better, faster, and safer, means learning what that function does, what parameters it accepts, and what it returns, that is what a programming language reference manual is for.
