Hi. Is it possible to create an image without the GD library? I want this for a custom application on single PCs where i run a server as a CGI.
All i want is to pass a text string and create it as an image. The platform is win2k. Any custom hack will do.
Thanks, John
If you want php to generate images. I am afraid you need those libraries. There may be a method outside of php. However if there is I don't know of any.
if youre passing it as text, cant you just dump that text into a file and put the extension as .jpg?
The reason i'm doing this is because if i display the text as plain text, due to its font size which is quite big, it looks like trimmed.
So i want to convert it to image
Imagemagick might be able to do what you want but I cant get access to my version to check. Do a google search for "imagemagick" and see what returns.
This is what i have been trying for the last 2 hours. Thanks Klaine.
It seems that it does what i want and now i'm trying to tweak it.
😃
Great minds think alike.
