but, i need the output is Hello World
on the image

please any one have idea?

 

when you deal with HTML tags as <b></b> you should use "echo"


i guess you sholud try integrating it in " imagestring "

 

no. i'll get the file(html/script) into the string and the string will be display into the image using image creator function.
