write text in image

[neugi]

Hi,

i want to use this code to write a text to a img, but it din't work and i don't know why.

[code]   
    $font = "rabiohead.ttf";
    $grund_bild = "barcode.gif";
    $winkel = "90";
    $text = "test";

    $img = imagecreatefromgif($grund_bild);
    $black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0,0,0);
    imagettftext($img, 10, $winkel, 0, 0, $black, $font, $text);

    header("Content-type: image/gif");
    imagegif($img);
    imagedestroy($img);[/code]

myabe someone can find the problem.

thx

is the font file "rabiohead.ttf" in same folder as script?

Comment out the header() and run script to show error messages

is in the same direktory ;)

and if the header is away there is no error message, i've checked this already.

best

try moving the text (baseline) coords further down the image so text is inside the image

this is a png version ok and tested

//<?php

//header("Content-type: images/png");
//$string = "hi";
//$im    = imagecreatefrompng("images/banner.png");
//$orange = imagecolorallocate($im, 220, 210, 60);
//$px    = (imagesx($im) - 7.5 * strlen($string)) / 2;
//imagestring($im, 3, $px, 9, $string, $orange);
//imagepng($im);
//imagedestroy($im);

//?>
