GD - TF Image

[Yek]

That's just thrown it all off for me now aswell.

I'm getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /public_html/tfgenerate.php on line 11

I think we may need to re-code this from scratch

CrazeD tech forums.png is the image that the GD is laying text over. It can be viewed by this link

Well I screwed with it for a bit and couldn't make the image more clear. I'm not real experienced with GD. I'll continue to search around for an answer though.

I forgot a ';' in my code, did you add it in? Sorry bout that.

Could you repost the whole code I need. I'm not sure what you're trying to get in

Thanks alot,

imagestring($im, 3, 0, 35, $text, $color);

When you where gonna replace a line with that, i forgot the ' ; ' at the end. 8)

Thanks, i'v updated the code and it's still looking grainy. Any suggestions, do I prehaps need to change the filetype?

Cheers,

It is blurry if all you do is imagecreatefrompng().

Shouldn't be the filetype, although maybe. Try a gif. Try making the background not transparent.

MUAHAHHAHA I FOUND IT.
After the imagecreatefrompng line, add these two:

imageAlphaBlending($im, true);
imageSaveAlpha($im, true);

I tried it for myself and it works nicely.

Go zed! lol

That's working beautifullly now thanks

Here's the code I have now

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$text = $_GET['text'];
$im = imagecreatefrompng ("tech forums.png");
imagestring($im, 3, 0, 35, $text, $color); 
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imageAlphaBlending($im, true);
imageSaveAlpha($im, true); 
$font = 'font.ttf';
$fontsize = 24;
$size = imagettfbbox($fontsize, 0, $font, $text); //calculate the pixel of the string
$dx = (imagesx($im)) - (abs($size[2]-$size[0])) - 20; //calculate the location to start the text
imagettftext($im, $fontsize, 0, $dx, 35, $color, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

For some reson text is appearing twice , not sure what I have in the code but that needs to go

Also I need to set the colours properly and include "Hey," at the front every time...

Thanks for you continued help
