I'm trying to overlay text onto a graphic and I would like to be able to control it my x and y axes...
My graphic is already made, I just need to find a way to overlay text onto it...
Look at the image functions in the manual. If you have the GD library it's fairly easy.
I believe the standard function is imageString() with some parameters for x and y position, font size, font type, and the text ofcourse.
Take a look at this code and see if it helps. You'll need truetype and gdlib support compiled into php. since most newer linux distros have freetype and libgd installed by default, all you'll likely need is a ./configure/make/make install/killall -1 httpd to make it work.
Note that you need to edit the script to tell it where your true type fonts live. For lots and lots of true type fonts check out places like www.fontfreak.com
