I now have this

[arkismad]

i have decied to start my project from scratch, this is what i have so far which outputs like this http://4f-scotland.com/stats/make_sig_short.php?clanpage=578

<?php
 $source = file_get_contents("http://ops.warrock.net/showclan.aspx?c=$clanpage");
 $pattern = '/Record: ([0-9-]+).*?World Rank: ([0-9]+).*?Regional Rank: ([0-9]+)/s';

preg_match($pattern, $clan_page_info, $matches);
list(, $record, $world_rank, $regional_rank) = $matches;

$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("1.jpg");
$other_pic = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://avatar.warrock.net/$clanpage.jpg");
$other_width = imagesx($other_pic);
$other_height = imagesy($other_pic);
imagecopyresampled($im, $other_pic, 125, 6, 0, 0, 40, 40,$other_width, $other_height);
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($im);
unset($im, $other_pic);

?>

allthough now i cant seem to get the imagestring function to work. Any help will rock !

Can you show us what you tried?

[arkismad]

$text3 = $regional_rank; // store the text we're going to write in $text
// calculate the left position of the text:
$leftTextPos = ( $width - imagefontwidth($font)*strlen($text3) )/1.9;
// finally, write the string:
imagestring($im, $font, $leftTextPos, $height-49, $text3, $yellow);

ok got this now

<?php


$source = file_get_contents("http://ops.warrock.net/showclan.aspx?c=$clanpage");
$pattern = '/Record: ([0-9-]+).*?World Rank: ([0-9]+).*?Regional Rank: ([0-9]+)/s';
preg_match($pattern, $clan_page_info, $matches);
list(, $record, $world_rank, $regional_rank) = $matches; 


$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("1.jpg");
$other_pic = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://avatar.warrock.net/$clanpage.jpg");
$other_width = imagesx($other_pic);
$other_height = imagesy($other_pic);
//-------------------------------------->
$font = 2;
$ID = $clanpage;
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 0);
imagestring ($im, $font, 75, 6,  $ID, $text_color);
//--------------------------------------->
imagestring ($im, $font, 250, 6,  $record, $text_color);
//--------------------------------------->

imagecopyresampled($im, $other_pic, 125, 6, 0, 0, 40, 40,$other_width, $other_height);
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($im);
unset($im, $other_pic);


?>

but trying to print the result of $record or $world_rank is comming up blank
