ttmt Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Imagettftext() - Just can't get it to work Hi ALL I'm trying to create a simple font tester. Imagettftext() looks perfect but I can't get it to work. I'm using this piece of code from php.net. Nothing is output and I get an error message in Firefox: The image "http://www.ttmt.org.uk/test/index.php" cannot be displayed because it contains errors. The font is available in the same location as the php file. http://www.ttmt.org.uk/test/index.php <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>untitled</title> </head> <body> <?php // Set the content-type header('Content-Type: image/png'); // Create the image $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30); // Create some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white); // The text to draw $text = 'Testing...'; // Replace path by your own font path $font = 'corbelb.ttf'; // Add the text imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text); // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg() imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249385-imagettftext-just-cant-get-it-to-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You have html mixed in with code that creates an image. Images are not made of html. Remove the html, then create another html page in put your script in an image tag. eg; <img src="yourphpscript.php" />.
