it's generally a terrible idea to use the acmlmboard as a learning device  . besides, making something like that takes like what, under 20 lines of code? i think it would be of greater value to make it on your own from scratch. |

//create a string on the imge indicated by the
resource with specified font, X, Y, text, and color
imagestring($img, 1, 20, 5, "Just a Test!", $color);
//the content that you're delivering is a png
header("Content-type: image/png");
//create the png
imagecolortransparent($img,0);
imagepng($img);
//give back memory that was allocated to the image resource
imagedestroy($img);
}
?>
Work with that. |

Thanks, that works like a charm!
I'm now trying to make the background transparant, but it isn't really working :s! |

by the way, for future reference php.net has amazingly thorough documentation of it's libraries. and on another note, you have to make sure you have GD enabled. navigate to your php.ini file and scroll down to the extension list. uncomment something similar to: "extension=php_gd2.dll" |

I've already searched around on a few PHP tutrials, but didn't really find clear answer.
What I wanna do is something like Jesper's previous custom titles.
A text made from PHP (with that GD thingy).
I also want to use it for displaying emails etc. |
