glossy button function

[guillem]

hi there!

i've been searching for an EASY function or code to create a glossy submit button.

I mean, a function to create an image or something (round, square or whatever) containing a text or another image, and making it glossy.

a thing , for example, like : create_glossy_button('inscription') that would create that.

maybe there's a possibility to do it with css or so, but i dont think so, as it involves calculation (gradients and such).

does anybody know of something like that??

thanks in advance!!!

You'll need to use PHP's GD library to do this.

 

You can create a picture predefined without text, and call it using imagecreatefromjpeg or similar functions, and add text it using one of GD's predefined functions such as ImageTTFText. Shouldn't be too hard from there.
