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

<?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();
?>

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.

[Invent]

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_di rection=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.
