I am using the following coding to create a image on the fly, but for some reason it's not turning out well on my server as it did on my computer:-
<?php

$font_file2 = "/fonts/times.ttf";//$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path/TIMES.ttf";
$font_file3 = "/fonts/verdana.ttf";//$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path/verdana.ttf";
$font_size = 30;
$font_size1 = 20;
$font_size2 = 10;
$angle = 0;
/*$dh = opendir(".");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh)))
{
if (preg_match('/\.jpg$/i', $file) and $file != "testing2.jpg") // sanning for .jpg files only and stopping avatar.jpg being loaded (you will run into errors if this isnt here)
{
$filelist[] = $file;
}
}
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$picnum = rand(0, sizeof($filelist) - 1);
$img = $filelist[$picnum];*/
$img = "J.jpg";
$thime_different = 0;
$c_time = time() - $time_different;
$time = mktime(15, 00, 00, 10, 29, 2004);
$days = sprintf("%.0d",($time - $c_time) / 86400);
$hours = sprintf("%.0d",($time - $c_time) / 3600);
$mins = sprintf("%.0d",($time - $c_time) / 60);
$secs = sprintf("%.0d",($time - $c_time));

imagecopy($im, $im2, 0, 0, 0, 0, $image_width, $image_height);
imagedestroy($im2);
// Position the text (discussed in step 3)
$bounding_box = imagettfbbox($font_size, 0, $font_file, $text);
$x_start = $image_width - $bounding_box[2] - $bounding_box[0] - 170;
$y_start = $image_height - 150;
$x_start1 = $image_width - $bounding_box[2] - $bounding_box[0] - 145;
$y_start1 = $image_height - 120;

// Write the text to the image
imagettftext($im, $font_size, $angle, $x_start, $y_start, $white, $font_file, $title);

?>
Until I can get it sorted out I have removed the text on in. But to view what is actually happening then click here
