Image help

[petbo]

Hi guys,

"Basically", all I want to do is fetch a couple external images using:

$im = imagecreatefromgif(the image url)

So far this works.

But I want to line up a couple of these images, and make that into one big image... This is to create a simple counter, which gets numbered images (eg. 1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif etc.).

Therefore, if 25 people have visited my site, I want the script to fetch 2.gif and 5.gif, line them up so they look like a number, and then output a png (or jpeg) image.

Is this possible?? I have tried php.net manuals but they don't help much 🙁

Thanks a lot for your time,

Peter

I figured it out!!

$new_count can obviously be a number from an external source (eg. a database)

<?php

header('Content-Type: image/png');
$ima = imagecreate(200,30);


$new_count = "1231";


$split[0] = substr($new_count , 0,1);
$split[1] = substr($new_count , 1,1);
$split[2] = substr($new_count , 2,1);
$split[3] = substr($new_count , 3,1);
$split[4] = substr($new_count , 4,1);
$split[5] = substr($new_count , 5,1);
$split[6] = substr($new_count , 6,1);

$n=0;
$x=0;
$y=0;
$arraysize = count($split);
$ima = imagecreate(200,30);


while($n < $arraysize)
{


if($split[$n]!="")
{

$im = imagecreatefromgif ("http://scripts.petbo.com/images/1/black/$split[$n].gif");

if($split[$n]==0)
{
$wi = 8;
}
else
{
$wi = 12;
}

imagecopymerge($ima, $im, $x, "10", "0", "0",$wi, "15", "100");



$x=$x+ 15;
 }


$n++;
}







ImagePNG($ima);


?>
