I want to create images based on a background and user input ?

[greenace92]

Hello,

I'm embarking on a pretty ambitious task and I need some bits of information here and there.

One of the functions I need to achieve is to build a query or array of photos based on a background image and user input. 

 

So imagine that I have a box  and within that box is a column of three rows. 

 

I need to have three different bits of data be placed into each of the subsequent rows and then an image is taken of these three pieces of data overlaying the background photo.

Then stored somewhere with an incremented identifier to be pulled later. 

 

I think I can already begin to imagine how it would work but what eludes me is a "screenshot" function to generate the images. I'm looking for .png or .jpg end result files with fixed width/height and item placement. 

 

Thank you for any help

Use the GD functions to create your image, store it on the server, and enter the name into a database table.

Ooh lots of reading to do alright, thank you very much for this link.

 

I just created 24 blank profiles and I feel insane... can't do this repetition by hand 

 

So... Definitely need to get this working

 

Thanks again
