Can this peculiar string be converted into image?

[gwolgamott]

there is an imagestring function for creating a string on an image... not sure if that's what you are looking for.

What do you mean "convert"?  Do you want to save this string as a file?  If so, have you tried:

 

file_put_contents('/path/to/save/file.png', $string);
