What errors are you getting? If none, try adding the following lines to the start of the script:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

remember that everything on linux is CASE SENSITIVE

make sure that your font files are installed correctly. also check the documentation on your imagettftext() here

hope this helps.

@jmack: theres no need to install the fonts... simply providing a path to the font file suffices... in fact, i believe u have to... i dont think on Win32 u can just name the font... been a while since ive used GD tho

hi,

iam getting this error. Call to undefined function: imagettftext() .

actually the code is
ImageTTFText ($image, $font_size, 0, 01, 10,$black, "arialbd.ttf","www.ahmup.com");

thanks

From http://www.php.net/imagettftext: "This function requires both the GD library and the FreeType library." Do you know if this library is installed and PHP configured to access it on the server in question?
