$_GET?

[HabbDance]

I know a way without using GD, but it's pretty stupid.

Nothing's to stupid for me What is it?

[L?KE]

I'd like to know how to do this too

You could always use sIFR - but yeah, you can specify which font you use in GD.

You could, really stupid way, save each individual letter of Volter font with border in a folder and then replace each input letter with the url to the image.

[--ss--]

Basic GD GET header would look like:

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$text = htmlspecialchars($_GET['t']);
$im = imagecreatefrompng("images/header_bg.png");
$font = "volterb.ttf";
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext($im, 7, 0, 9, 14, $white, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

The output will be something like


But if you want to put a 1px border round the letters it will be much much more complicated.

Damn, I want the border. lol. Thanks though, this will come in handy. +rep
Also if you can explain how to do it with a border?:s

EDIT: Need to spread, in sig.

Here's a simple black border, it's not as thick as the other one though:



It's just --SS--'s code modified:

<?php
header( "Content-type: image/png" );
$text = htmlspecialchars( $_GET ['t'] );
$im = imagecreatefrompng( "header.png" );
$font = "volterb.ttf";
$white = imagecolorallocate( $im, 255, 255, 255 );
$black = imagecolorallocate( $im, 0, 0, 0 );

imagettftext( $im, 7, 0, 8, 15, $black, $font, $text );
imagettftext( $im, 7, 0, 9, 14, $black, $font, $text );
imagettftext( $im, 7, 0, 10, 15, $black, $font, $text );
imagettftext( $im, 7, 0, 9, 16, $black, $font, $text );

imagettftext( $im, 7, 0, 9, 15, $white, $font, $text );

imagepng( $im );
imagedestroy( $im );
?>

Thanks so much Worked a charm. +rep. Is there anyway I can make a transparent background though? Because when I tried it simply didn't appear:rolleyes:

<?php
$text = $_GET[ 'text' ];
?>

But Calon, $_GET is being deprecated, is it not ?
