Write Random Text To Image PHP script help

[rejected 0]

I'm trying to create a script that writes text to an image.

header("Content-type: image/png");$_phrases = array("Test 1","Test 2","Test 3","Test 4","etc.");$_rand_phrase = $_phrases[rand(0,count($_phrases)-1)];$_image = imagecreatefrompng("gmail.png");$_user_width = imaagettfbbox(9,0,"tahoma.ttf",$_rand_phrase);$_x_value = (200-($user_width[2] + 113));$_color = imagecolorallocate($_image, 165, 164, 164);imagettftext($_image, 9, 0, $_x_value, 16, $_color, "tahoma.ttf", $_rand_phrase);imagepng($_image);imagedestroy($_image);

I can't see what I'm doing wrong.. I know it should work, I'm making a dumb mistake of some sort.

Can anyone help?

I just made a similar script for a friend, one of those interactive sigs with the IP and all that on it. Anyway, try using

imagestring($_image, 3, 6, 6, $Title, $clr_black);//It works like this:imagestring($_image, FONT, X-POSITION, Y-POSITION, TEXT-TO-DISPLAY, COLOUR);

rather than imagettftext.

Also, try removing the _ from the variables as I have seen that confuse some set ups of PHP before.

What exact error do you get when you run the script, or do you just get a blank page?

If you want to make dynamic sigs, you could follow SystemWisdom's tutorial: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/24458-php-dynamic-signatures-using-the-gd-module-and-mysql/
