Whats wrong here [PHP GD]

[Moh]

Well we have GD installed on our server, or else all the other GD images around the site wouldn't work (Then again, I think you have to set which image types can work)

Heres the contents of our file:
Yes, all the urls are correct :P


<?php

$name = $_GET["habbo"];
$hotel = $_GET["hotel"];

header("Content-Type: image/gif");

$im = imagecreatefrompng("spotlight.PNG");

$thumbWidth = "60";
$thumbHeight = "120";
$url = "http://www.habbo.$hotel/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=$name&action=&direction=4&head_direction=3&gesture=sml&size=l&img_format=png";
$srcImg = imagecreatefrompng($url);
$origWidth = imagesx($srcImg);
$origHeight = imagesy($srcImg);
$thumbImg = imagecreate($thumbWidth, $thumbHeight);
imagecopyresized($thumbImg, $srcImg, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumbWidth, $thumbHeight, imagesx($thumbImg), imagesy($thumbImg));
$ImgWhite = imagecolorallocate($thumbImg, 255, 255, 255);
imagefill($thumbImg, 0, 0, $ImgWhite);
imagecolortransparent($thumbImg, $ImgWhite);

$font = "Volter.ttf";
$size = "6.5";
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text = $name;
$img_w = imagesx($im);
$img_h = imagesy($im);

imagettftext($im, $size, 0, ($img_w / 2)-(strlen($name)*imagefontwidth($font) /2), 130, $white, $font, $name);


imagegif($im);
imagedestroy($im);

die();
?>


Moved by Invent (Forum Moderator) from Designing & Development: Please post in the correct forum next time, thanks :).

What error are you getting?

EDIT: nvm I think I see the error, you have set the header to gif, but the image is png.

It either needs to be


header("Content-Type: image/png");

$im = imagecreatefrompng("spotlight.png");
or


header("Content-Type: image/gif");

$im = imagecreatefromgif("spotlight.gif");

Wow, thanks.

I just realized how to use GD.

No Tom, he's outputting it as a gif, so it's fine :)

Oh right lol, I didn't know GD could convert images :)

Create a PHP page and type the follwing code:

<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
It should show you you're PHP info and what extra libraries you have installed like GD , scroll down to the GD section and see if you have the "Freetype" support enabled , you need the freetype library to use the getttftext function which you are using to write the text with ;).

Im unsure but i think that this part of the code needs to be $url = "http://www.habbo.".$hotel."/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=$name&action=&direction=4&head_direction=3&gesture=sml&size=l&img_format=png"; not 100% sure though, its because your using a variable i think.

Nope it does not seeing as I use the same method to get my Habbo images for my scripts and it works fine ;).

Eww..



$url = "http://www.habbo.". $hotel ."/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=". $name ."&action=&direction=4&head_direction=3&gesture=sml&size=l&img_format=png";

Why not just use the GET array thing, instead of creating another variable which contains the value of that.

I'll take a quick look at it now, see what i come up with.
I'm guessing this is one of them things habbo had a while back?

Couldn't edit my last post.
The problem lies with the font, I've just checked all the code, it all seems correct, the only isssue i see *as I've just tested the code* is the font, you need to make sure the font is present either in the folder with the file, or installed with the servers fonts, if it's not present it can't find the font, hense the error.
