How would you do this! :(

I know.. this is using PHP GD.

And its making me mad

I'm assuming there's an image for each character, which are then joined using the imagecopymerge function. It's pretty simple, you'll just need to get the width of each character, add it together, create the image and then place each character (you could do it with a foreach loop).

Could you help joshua?

Im not a noob at this but I just haven't worked with GD that much

I'll write a basic script you can ammend to fit your needs.

I had a similar script I wrote for someone else which I could structure it around:

<?php

  require ('config.php');
  header("Content-type: image/png");

  // Check Message
  if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z0-9 ]{0,30}$/", $_GET['message']) && !empty($_GET['message'])) {
    $chars = str_split(str_replace(' ', '_', $_GET['message']));
  } else {
    $chars = str_split('Invalid_Message');
  }

  // Assign font variable
  $fontDirectory = $fonts[$_GET['font']];
  if($fontDirectory == '') $fontDirectory = 'test';

  // Count size and create images
  foreach($chars as $char) {
    $cl = $fontDirectory.'/'.$char.'.png';
    $charsImgs[] = imagecreatefrompng($cl);
    @list($width) = getimagesize($cl) or exit;
    $charsWidth[] = $width;
    $imgWidth = $imgWidth+$width;
  }

  // Create and merge final image
  $imgWidth = ($pos*2)+$imgWidth;
  $img = imagecreate($imgWidth, height);
  $bg = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255);
  foreach($charsImgs as $charsImg) {
    $width = array_shift($charsWidth);
    imagecopymerge($img, $charsImg, $pos, 0, 0, 0, $width, height, 100);
    $pos = $pos+$width;
  }

  // Flush image
  imagepng($img);
  imagedestroy($img);
  exit;

?>

File "config.php":

<?php

  # CONFIG

  #Image height:
  define("height", 50);

  #Left and right margin:
  $pos = '10';

  #Font and its directory (more may be added):
  $fonts['test'] = 'test';
  $fonts['blah'] = 'blah';

  # CONFIG END --

?>

Create a folder with the name of your font, bearing each character (in PNG format). The space image should be named "_.png", as you can't have spaces in some O/Ss file names. Modify config.php to fit your needs. Don't worry about paying me.

I'll write a basic script you can ammend to fit your needs.

Could you supply me with the script too, thanks.

[Dentafrice1]

Thanks joshua.

I will pay you when I get my paypal account unlocked

[nets]

Bump. About paying, I wrote a script a similar script a while ago, so there wasn't much coding to do (thanks for the offer though). I've added the script to my previous post.

It's working fine now?
