Is this possible?

[HalfaBee]

Read the manual to find out about positioning and fonts
www.php.net/imagestring
or www.php.net/imagettftext

$finish = strtotime( "29 october 2008" );
$seconds = $finish - time(); // current timestamp
$days = (int)$seconds/(3600*24);
$text = "$days days untill LittleBigPlanet!"
imagestring($im, 3, 5, 50, $text  , $text_color);

Alright so for the positioning, this doesn't work..

...$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 225);
$finish = strtotime( "29 october 2008" );
$seconds = $finish - time(); // current timestamp
$days = (int)$seconds/(3600*24);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, $days, $x 10, $text_color);
imagepng($im);...

What did I do wrong? Err, I already hate PHP..

[HalfaBee]

from the manual this is how the function is defined

bool imagestring ( resource $image , int $font , int $x , int $y , string $string , int $color )

so
$x = 10;
$y = 50;
imagestring($im, 1, $x, $y, $days, $text_color);

positions the top left corner of the string at 10,50

Alright so let's say for me to change the font of the text I just do..

$font = 3;
imagestring($im, 1, $x, $y, $days, $text_color, $font);

Thanks..

[HalfaBee]

That is correct.
If you want to use True Type fonts you need to use www.php.net/imagettftext and upload the ttf file to the server.

Hmm.. I just tried it and it doesn't show up. No number or anything. Is it supposed to be '3pt' or '3px' or just the number?

[HalfaBee]

Just 3, but php would have converted 3pt to 3 by itself.

Post the code you have now.

[toxic27]

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreatefrompng( 'countdown-data/LBPcount.png' )
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 225);

$finish = strtotime( "29 october 2008" );
$seconds = $finish - time(); // current timestamp
$days = (int)$seconds/(3600*24);
$days = number_format($days, 0);
$font = 2;
imagestring($im, 2, 70, 33, $days, $text_color, $font);

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

And this is the result (no number is shown)..

Sorry,

imagestring($im, 2, 70, 33, $days, $text_color, $font);

should be

imagestring($im, $font , 70, 33, $days, $text_color);

[toxic27]

Thank you! It's finished! Thanks so much for helping me!

[HalfaBee]

No problem, I hope you enjoy learning php. 🙂

[Hello-World]

I started php newly.I don't know much about it.
But the easiest way to show your flash movie in a forum is to make the flash movie into a gif file.
When I started using flash 5. It has an option to save the whole movie in .gif extention,which completely animated.

[Ashley_Sheridan]

GIF allows for animation, but allows for none of the Flash interaction, which is what I thought was the idea here. If it's just an animation, this will be fine, but there is one problem, as a lot of forums block animated GIF images.
