PHP image.

[Nasimov]

Hello!

I want to load text from a .txt file on the web and put it on to an image. How can I do that in php?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you want to superimpose text on an image? If so, here is a tutorial on how to do that.

If I'm way off base, please elaborate a little more on what you're trying to accomplish. Thanks.

Hi. To generate text on an image using PHP, try something like the following:

PHP Code:

<?php
  $pic = "filename.jpg"; // jpg filename
  $file = "filename.txt"; // txt filename
  $font = 5; // can be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
  $xpos = 50; // zero is leftmost position
  $ypos = 10; // zero to topmost position
  $qual = 30; // zero (worst) to 100 (best)
  $text = trim(implode("", file($file)));
  $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($pic);
  $red = imagecolorallocate($im,255,0,0);
  imagestring($im, $font, $xpos, $ypos, $text, $red);
  imagejpeg($im, '', $qual);
  imagedestroy($im);
?>

This assumes PHP is GD enabled. Also, check here for other image functions.
