imagefttext() Problem

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');

// Start The Image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 200);

// Palette
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$gray = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

// Set Color
$color = $white;

// Background
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 199, $color);

// Words/Font
$Font = './fonts/' . $_POST['sel'] . '.ttf';

// Write Text
imagefttext($im, 10, 0, 50, 50, $black, $Font,$_POST['word']);

// Clearer Text
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Code (markup):

For some reason whenever I try to go through and make it, it makes the image but it says this: The image "create_img.php" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

I looked at the PHP manual and there is nothing wrong with mine so I took their example and ran it and got the same error.

Is this a PHP version problem or what. How can I fix this answers appreciated.

 

comment out the header() and see hwat the error is then lol !

 

Try this out

<?php
ob_start();
header('Content-type: image/png');

// Start The Image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 200);

// Palette
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$gray = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

// Set Color
$color = $white;

// Background
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 199, $color);

// Words/Font
$Font = './fonts/' . $_POST['sel'] . '.ttf';

// Write Text
imagefttext($im, 10, 0, 50, 50, $black, $Font,$_POST['word']);

// Clearer Text
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
ob_end_flush();
?>

Used both of your ideas. I think the original error was that it couldn't get to the font file. Works fine now though thanks!

$Font = (isset($_POST['sel'])&&file_exists('./fonts/'.$_POST['sel'].'.ttf')?'./fonts/'.$_POST['sel'].'.ttf':'defualt.ttf');
