Write Random Text To Image PHP script help

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/

Thanks, about to try rvalkass's and then if it fails I'll try that tutorial Nguyen.There isn't an error, it just says that the iamge can't be displayed because it was errors.

and then if it fails I'll try that tutorial Nguyen.
