Php Dynamic Images

[al3x8730]

How would I create a dynamic image that would get $Num and put that in the image along with something that would be constant like "there are ".$Num. " users in the database"; in the image?

 

<?php
$Num = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users`");
$Num = mysql_num_rows($Num);

echo "<center>There are <b><u>" . $Num . "</b></u> Users in the database.<br /></center>";
?>

I tired:

 

<?php

include('header.php');

$Num = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users`");
$Num = mysql_num_rows($Num);

// Create a 200*30 image
$im = imagecreate(100, 30);

// White background and blue text
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 255);

// Write the string at the top left
imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, 'There are '.$Num.' Users in the EOdata User Database', $textcolor);

// Output the image
header('Content-type: image/png');

imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

 

And it didn't work. Also where would I go to view this image?

what happens in header.php? Basically you're setting the PHP file to display as an image, so you'd just use something like:

 

<img src="your-php-file.php" />

 

You can't print out any HTML in the page though otherwise it won't work!
