PHP Create Image With Dynamic Text - Fonts Question

[gfX]

Hi guys,

 

Here is what I have so far:

http://www.autoshopgarage.com/new-era/generate.php

 

What I am trying to do is instead of having Line 1 and Line 2, I want to just have one big textarea so I don't have to limit the user so much.  I did it this way because I want to have two versions of text, the light version and the bold version. 

 

Is it possible to have two different fonts with just one textarea of text?  Right now I have two functions:

ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 435, 80, $color, $font1, wordwrap($first, 18, "\n", true));

ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 485,120, $color_black, $font2, wordwrap($last, 18, "\n", true));

 

So I would limit that to just 1, and it would automatically wordwrap but what would I put for the $font variable?  Is this even possible?  I was thinking of just using BBCode so they could type in [b*]Bold Text[/b*] and it would use the Bold version of the font if it sees that.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Here is the full code:

<?php

$first = $_GET['first'];

$last = $_GET['last'];

$font_color = $_GET['color'];

 

header("Content-type: image/png");

$image = imagecreatefrompng ( "banner_blank.png" );

$color_black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);

$color_red = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0);

 

if($font_color == "Red") {

$color = $color_red;

}

elseif($font_color == "Black") {

$color = $color_black;

}

 

$font1 = 'HelveticaNeueLTStd-BdEx.ttf';

$font2 = 'HelveticaNeueLTStd-LtEx.ttf';

$fontSize = "21";

ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 435, 80, $color, $font1, wordwrap($first, 18, "\n", true));

ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 485,120, $color_black, $font2, wordwrap($last, 18, "\n", true));

imagepng ( $image );

imagedestroy ( $image );

?>

OK I am getting close!  After reading on Stackoverflow here is what I have now:

http://www.autoshopgarage.com/new-era/test2.php?text=testing+%3Cb%3Escript%3C/b%3E%20this%20is%20so%20cool%20i%20love%20it

 

That does what I want, the only problem with this is now I can't get the wordwrap to work!  It should wrap to the next line, but I cannot seem to get it.

 

Here is the new PHP code:

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');

$im = imagecreatefrompng ( "banner_blank.png" );

$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);

$tmp = $_GET['text'];

$words = explode(" ", $tmp);

$x = array(0,0,230); // DUMMY ARRAY WITH X POSITION FOR FIRST WORD

$addSpace = 0;

foreach($words as $word)
{
    if($addSpace) $word = " ".$word; // IF WORD IS NOT THE FIRST ONE, THEN ADD SPACE

    if(stristr($word, "<b>"))
    {
        $font = 'HelveticaNeueLTStd-BdEx.ttf'; // BOLD FONT
	$replace = str_replace(array("<b>","</b>"), "", $word);
        $x = imagettftext($im, 20, 0, $x[2], 20, $color, $font, $replace);
    }
    else
    {
        $font = 'HelveticaNeueLTStd-LtEx.ttf'; // NORMAL FONT
        $x = imagettftext($im, 20, 0, $x[2], 20, $color, $font, $word);
    }

    $addSpace = 1;
}

imagepng($im);

imagedestroy($im);

?>

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks!
