Php Creating A Jpeg Image

[3sharpltd]

The current issue is writing text to a jpeg image.

 

The image can be found with the issue here: http://www.personali...labeldesign.php

 

This generates the image but as you can see the text displays fine on the plain background but on the claret background the text pixelates.

 

the php code is simple below:

 

<?php

define('gara','../forms/fonts/GARA.TTF');

$message1 = $text[0];

 

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

$imagebox = imagettfbbox(67, 0, castellar, $message1);

$x = ($imagebox[0] + (imagesx($img) / 2)) - ($imagebox[4] / 2);

$y = ($imagebox[1] + (imagesy($img) / 2)) - ($imagebox[5] / 2);

imagettftext($img, 67, 0, $x, $y, $color, gara, $message1);

 

Header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');

imagejpeg($img);

imagedestroy($img);

 

?>

 

does anyone know why the text is pixalating? or how to resolve this issue as i have been trying to work arround this issue for a while.

 

Many thanks,

Liam

Because GD isn't that great at manipulating images. Really. It can do small, simple tasks but that's about it. If you need quality then use ImageMagick instead.
