imagettftext() and jpegs

[drewbie]

anyone know why my code just outputs one of the error displaying jpg picture(the red x in the box)

$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("./images/coupon.jpg");
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, "./GARA.TTF", "Testing...");
imagejpeg($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);

its a pain in the ass, thanks for any help

Hi !
you may have 2 problems.
at first imagettftext may not be able to locate your font file.

the second problem could reside in the fact that you do not send headers before calling imagejpeg.

try adding this before calling imagejpeg.
header("Content-type: image/pjpeg");
