Php: Write Random Text As Image Having problems, help needed

[rejected 0]

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

header("Content-type: image/png");$_phrases = array([tab][/tab]"Test 1",[tab][/tab]"Test 2",[tab][/tab]"Test 3",[tab][/tab]"Test 4",[tab][/tab]"etc.");$_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?

You spelled imagettfbbox with an extra a (imaagettfbbox).And why do you have all your variables start with underscores? You need them only when you want numbers at the beginning of a varible, like $_42lasljwoie. Are you trying to make the variables starting with numbers to look the same as variables starting with letters?The underscores don't cause a problem, but I'm just curious.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The worst ones to debug.

It's a coding convention, I've seen that in few other places too. I don't quite get the point, but that's not the first time...

I've seen that coding convention before but only for private methods, and for predefined global variables like $_GET, $_POST, $_SERVER, $_REQUEST, and so on I didn't know it was used for userdefined variables too that's new for me
