[SOLVED] Text to Image??

[TFD3]

I have a URL that displays a background image and text overlay but I was wanting to know if its possible to combine the two and have it show as a image?

 

Here is the image/text overlay site:

Thanks,

If you have GDlib installed, you can use:

That's why I linked to the manual. But I'll be nice this time:

 

<?php
    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    $im = imagecreatefrompng("background.png");
    $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 10, 15, $white, "times.ttf", date());
    imagepng($im);
?>

 

Upload your font ("times.ttf") into the same directory as the script and "background.png".

this is what I get...

I see this in the headers:

 

Content-Type: text/html

 

Should be "image/png" I edited the code I posted earlier, try it again.

works...cept the text. Here is what I have:

 

<?php
    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    $txt = testing;
    $im = imagecreatefrompng("http://beta.alabamaweather.org/radar/radarimages/background.png");
    $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 10, 15, $white, "arial.ttf", date('$txt'));
    imagepng($im);
?>

 

and it displays: when it should say testing

[infid3l]

<?php
    header("Content-Type: image/png");
    $txt = "testing";
    $im = imagecreatefrompng("http://beta.alabamaweather.org/radar/radarimages/background.png");
    $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 10, 15, $white, "arial.ttf", $txt);
    imagepng($im);
?>

 

I don't know why you chose to make "testing" a constant or why you put $txt in date(), but try the code above.

    imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 10, 15, $white, "arial.ttf", $txt);
    imagepng($im);
?>
