PHP image font help

[GuitarGod]

Hello,

 

Ok, when creating an image in PHP (using 'imagecreate'), I have a problem with adding text to the image using 'imagefttext'.

 

When asked to specify the font, I used to be able to just use 'verdana.ttf' or 'impact.ttf', but now (i'm using Uniform Server) I have to specify the path as well E.G. 'c:\WINDOWS\fonts\verdana.ttf'.

 

Ordinarily, this isn't a problem, but not everyone uses Windows, so that path isn't valid for everyone.

 

What I want to know is, how come I used to be able to just specify the file name, but now I have to include the path? Is it a problem with my PHP settings? If so, could someone tell me what file and the bit of code needs to be edited accordingly.

 

Thanks
