ImageTTFText Problems! (GD)

[Bunting]

Heya!

I wonder if any of you guys could shed light on a problem I am having with ImageTTFText...

$font = "arialbd.ttf";
$f2text = $fighter_desc[0]." ".$fighter_name[1];
$red = imagecolorallocate($image,255,0,0);
imagettftext($image,10,0,10,20,$red,$font,$f2text);

This should work - however it doesnt! The font file is in the same directory as the .php file, however, i suspect that it is still the problem!

Can anybody see anything wrong with that ?

edit: the error i get is simply "cannot create image "filename" because there were errors. Bog standard GD Error!

edit: The colon is actually on the same line as imagettftext, but this box (the one i have to write this message in) is too small and its difficult to make it move up a line 🙂

Thanks!

show a few more lines please

turn on error_reporting(E_ALL);

try absolute paths like "/dir/font.ttf", same errors?

Take out the [man]header/man (which isn't shown in what you pasted--but must be there) and see what PHP errors you got.
Then, if you're still having trouble, reply with them as well.
