[Resolved] Using PHP to make an image?

[skeetley]

Here is what I want to do.

I want to use PHP to grab some data from a seperate page (which I can do fine), but then print it out as an image. The reason is that I can link to an image in my forum, and I want to use the data from the seperate page as my signature. The data obviously updates and this would be a great signature. I could easily make a page of my own with the proper PHP code and then link to the image in my signature.

I don't know how to make PHP print text as an image though. Can it even be done? Do I need to learn gd or whatever it is called? My host supports gd.

Yep, learn some GD and check this: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php
