[Resolved] add text to an existing image

[simmosn]

Does any one know of a way to add some text, say "Hello World!", to an existing image that will act as the background to the new dynamically generated image

Cheers,

Cheers mate, I managed to get it sorted. Very simple in the end 🙂

<?php
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreatefrompng ("bg.png");
$txt = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);

ImageString($im, 5, 5, 2, "w00t",   $txt);

imagepng($im);
?>
