$string = $_GET['image'];

$im = imagecreatefrompng("http://www.habboname.com/nerd/brap.png");
// white background and blue text
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 250);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 255);

// write the string at the top left

imagepng($im);
?>

Does anyone know how I can change the font? The location of the font is http://www.habboname.com/nerd/volter.ttf.

Thanks, will +rep all helpful posts.

 

You'll need to switch to using imagettftext - http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php

If you need any help with getting it to work let us know, hopefully it will work well though.

 

Oh you have to be kidding me. Nevermind, I hardly know PHP and getting what I have now took me like a day. Thanks though.

 

It should just be a question of changing that one line 11.

Like I say, if you have any problems let me know and I'll try and help. I remember doing something similar for a dynamic signature I wanted to put together a while ago.

 

Nope, when I changed line 11 I got the image cannot be displayed because it contains error.

 

I love gd errors, they're just so informative!

I think line 11 should be something like

imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $textcolor, "volter.ttf", $string);

PHP:

You also supposedly need the following at the very end after imagepng

imagedestroy($im);

PHP:

 

Dude, thank you so much! I gave you rep!!!
