 tags

sorry..i didn't get what you mean... i'm a really a newbie to php..just copied the source code from a certain php website and modified it little by little until i got stuck..hehe

...what part of my code should i put the tags <code> </code> ?

~n[EO]n~ · December 10, 2007

He means put your code inside code tags (while posting you will see a # icon) use that...

And about your code... you need to display the image when the user presses the submit button, you are now using that GD function when the page loads, I have modified your code... check this now

<?php
### when the user presses the submit button then use gd functions... 
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{
//loads image??
$im = imagecreatefrompng("background.png");
//defines text color
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
// write the string at the top left ??
imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, $_POST['text'], $textcolor);
//outputs the image
header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}
?>

This is the working one... please check, hope you get the idea...

<?php
### when the user presses the submti button then use gd functions... 
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{
header("Content-type: image/png");

$name = $_POST['text']; # get value for name...
$contact = $_POST['contact']; # get value for contact...
$product = $_POST['product']; # get value for product...
$price = $_POST['price']; # get value for price...
$description = $_POST['description']; # get value for price...

$im     = imagecreatefrompng("background.png");
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);

# this is for product 
imagestring($im, 5, 190, 20, $product, $white);
# this is for description...
imagestring($im, 5, 10, 80, $description, $white);
# this is for name
imagestring($im, 5, 300, 300, $name, $white);
# this is for contact address
imagestring($im, 5, 300, 320, $contact, $white);
# this is for price
imagestring($im, 5, 370, 80, $price, $white);

imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}

text..it doesn't go to the next line..pls..help..tnx

REVISED CODE

--------------------------------------------------------------------

# this is for description...

//displays string and defines its position

imagettftext($im, 18, 0, 10, 90, $white, $font, $description);

$text = $imagettftext;

//wraps string???

$newtext = $newtext = wordwrap($text, 20, "<br />\n");

echo $newtext; ## is this needed??

---------------------------------------------------

hoping for your reply...tnx
