PHP GD Image help

[Recursion]

Sorry for double post.

I have

header("Content-type: image/gif");
$image = imagecreatefromgif( "christmas.gif" );
$font = 'comic.ttf'; // added the font to use (its in same directory) 
$colour = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 119, 180); //RGB colour, used for the text color
imagestring( $image, 50, 80, 20, $text, $colour ); //the image background, font size, width, height, text to echo, colour
imagegif( $image );
imagedestroy( $image ); 

But it doesn't seem to be displaying the text in the right font (comic.ttf) on the image...

Yeah, because imagestring doesn't have a font option You're really not plugging $font in anywhere..

Use imagettftext() instead of imagestring()

You might want to look at this, http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php , you should then be able to determine what parameters need to be set

See, look at the PHP.net documentation.. it tells you what you need to know: http://us3.php.net/imagettftext

imagettftext ( resource $image , float $size , float $angle , int $x , int $y , int $color , string $fontfile , string $text )
