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.

depends if you want it added directly to the image or just to appear on top of the image. The first requires the use of the GD library in PHP, the second can be done with some simple CSS

<?php 
$handle = fopen("filename.txt", "r");  //opens text file 
$content = fread($handle, filesize("filename.txt"));  //reads content of file into $content 
header("Content-type: image/png"); 
$im = @imagecreate(130, 20) 
   or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");  //creates image with sizes (x, y) 
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); //set bg colour 
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91); //set text color 
imagecolortransparent($im, $background_color);  //make bg transparent 
imagestring($im, 4, 5, 5,  $content, $text_color);  //write the text string to image 
imagepng($im); //make image 
imagedestroy($im); 
fclose($handle); 
?>

that will write your text to a png image with red font and transparent background.
