Was wondering if anyone could help me. I want to make a function in which text is entered in a form, taking the user to a new page where the text entered has been turned into an image in font 'x'. Any ideas on how to go about finding a script for this, or does anyone know of one?
It's a bit complicated to make yourself if you don't know how to code, but there are scripts. Basic overview of the code/server-side technology: http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/gd_library.htm Here's a script: http://sgssweb.com/experiments/ Demo of site created using that script: http://interactimage.com/
Will text be the only part of the image or will you retrieve an image file and <I>write</I> the text on top?
The server that your web site is hosted on likely has PHP. Check for the GD library by using phphinfo().
That helped. Reading those articles together with my basic PHP knowledge got me through it in the end. Thanks BBS for pointing me in the right direction.
