Graphics questions

[Connie_Goss]

I have a project which requires me to open an existing .jpg, overlay several other jpgs onto it, write some text to it, and display it in a popup window. I have my GD library installed but I'm getting lost reading through all the imagexxxx() functions. Can someone give me the basics of opening, writing, and displaying the image in the best way? Thank you.

Do you have the [man]imagick[/man] extension installed? You might find that somewhat easier to work with, though it probably requires at least a basic familiarity with object-oriented PHP for it to be easier than the GD image functions. Otherwise you might want to skim through the GD Image examples to get a general idea of how things go together.
