[SOLVED] gd library - draw image + print stuff before or after

[jonniejoejonson]

The following code uses the gd library to draw a blue sqaure...

 

$width = 50;

$height = 50; 

$image = ImageCreate($width, $height); 

$blue = ImageColorAllocate($image, 56, 102, 211);

ImageFill($image, 0, 0, $blue);

ImageJpeg($image);

 

This works fine until you try and print anything before or after the image...

for example if you

add the print 'hello world' before the ImageJpeg function it breaks...

 

I want to know how you can create agd image and output it with other things like text!

What do you mean by breaks? What actually happens? Also, you should be setting the content type with the header function if you're outputting to a browser.

Every image on a web page requires an <img tag - http://w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp

 

The URL that you put into the src="..." attribute must be to a .php script that outputs the correct content-type header followed by the image data (your GD code you posted.)

I want to be able to output both text and an image that i create using the gd library.

 

eg:

$image = ImageCreate(50,50); 

$blue = ImageColorAllocate($image, 56, 102, 211);

ImageFill($image, 0, 0, $blue);

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

ImageJpeg($image);

 

How can i add some text to output before the image is displayed...
