GD Library to place text on image [HELP]

Hello,

I needhelp with GD library to place text on an image.

The string will be called

$totaltickets

<?php

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password");
mysql_select_db("database", $link);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT ticketid FROM tickets", $link);
$totaltickets = mysql_num_rows($result);


//Proccess GD Library

?>

PHP:

the page should only display a png image when visited with the text on it if you can do it that would be great here is the image:


and here is the image what i hope for it to look close to when it has text:



-John

 

Easiest way would be to add an image on top of that one, using the one you have as background..

check http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreate.php for information on how to make an image out of a string.

 

thanks for that it worked out good +rep given
