How to add text to an image with PHP GD library
Use this to add text to image (copied from PHP for Kids)
<?php
//Set the Content Type
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
// Create Image From Existing File
$jpg_image = imagecreatefromjpeg('sunset.jpg');
// Allocate A Color For The Text
$white = imagecolorallocate($jpg_image, 255, 255, 255);
// Set Path to Font File
$font_path = 'font.TTF';
// Set Text to Be Printed On Image
$text = "This is a sunset!";
// Print Text On Image
imagettftext($jpg_image, 25, 0, 75, 300, $white, $font_path, $text);
// Send Image to Browser
imagejpeg($jpg_image);
// Clear Memory
imagedestroy($jpg_image);
?>
Problem here is,
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
//<== this not black, its white
//for black it should be like,
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
