adding text on image

[JohnDigweed]

Hi,

I am having a problem with this. I have a business card image and I want to edit it using PHP. It is a JPEG.

Here is my code :

<?php
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg ("blank.jpg");
$black = imagecolorresolve ($image, 0, 0, 0);
imagettftext ($image, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, 'arial.ttf', 'Test Text');
imagejpeg($image,'',90);
imagedestroy($image);
?>

Now, I see the image blank.jpg. However, no text shows up!

Is it a faulty code? COuld it be the JPEG image? DO I have to uplaod arial.ttf to my web server?

Thanks.

yes, you will have to upload arial.ttf to the server, in the case of how its coded, you need to upload it to the same directory this script is. your webserver may have some ttf fonts installed already. look in the /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType/ folder to see what comes with the system.
