---Storing on the fly images---

[Digi_Duck]

Hi

I have a script that lets users pick an image and add text to it using this php script:

<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

$name = stripslashes($_GET['name']);

$size = stripslashes($_GET['size']);

$centre = stripslashes($_GET['centre']);

$font = 'images/sig_maker/fonts/'.stripslashes($_GET['font']).'.ttf';

$fontcolor['r'] = stripslashes($_GET['color_r']); // font color - RED

$fontcolor['g'] = stripslashes($_GET['color_g']); // font color - GREEN

$fontcolor['b'] = stripslashes($_GET['color_b']); // font color - BLUE

$lines = stripslashes($_GET['lines']);

function arrow($im, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $alength, $awidth, $color){
///

}

if(is_numeric($_GET['color']) && $_GET['color'] >= '1' && $_GET['color'] <= '54')
{
    $bgpic = 'images/sig_maker/' . $_GET['color'] . '.jpeg';
}


$im = imagecreatefromjpeg($bgpic);

//Calculate, the centre:

for(;;){

list($image_width, $image_height) = getimagesize($bgpic);
list($left_x, , $right_x) = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $font, $name);
$text_width = $right_x - $left_x;
if($image_width > $text_width+5){

break;

}

$size = $size - .5;
if($size == 1){
die('Script not responding to decreasing font size, in other words: try using less letters.');
}

}
$hpadding = ($image_width - $text_width)/2;
$vpadding = ($image_height/2);

$textcolor = imagecolorresolve($im, $fontcolor['r'], $fontcolor['g'], $fontcolor['b']);
if($centre== 'y'){

imagettftext($im, $size, 0, $hpadding,$vpadding, $textcolor, $font, $name);

}else{

imagettftext($im, $size, $angle, $x, $y, $textcolor, $font, $name);

}

imagegif($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

This works fine, however I want to automatically save each image that is created to a Mysql table and show the last 5 images created. I dont want to keep the images stored in the Mysql forever, just until 5 new sigs have been created.

I have very basic knowledge of php and no knowledge of Mysql except a few tutorials i have read.

So far i have created a table called sig and have fields in it that the image uses (i.e. $name, $font, $size etc and an ID field with increment set to 0??? and also primary?) I did this because when you create an image the url looks like this...

http://gamesigs.co.uk/testgenerator.php?color=25&name=your+text+here&centre=y&x=2&y=30&angle=0&font=unreal&size=25&select=255%2C255%2C255&color_r=255&color_g=255&color_b=255&submit=Create+My+Sig%21

and i thought if i could save these variables when a user submits the form it could work. Any way I'm completely clueless

By the way if you want to see my site here's the address: www.gamesigs.co.uk

PLEASE HELP!!!
