save the created image to the hard drive

[ahasanat]

The code I posted works fine in creating an image on the fly, where I can call imagegen.php from an html page.

background:In my web page the user will be asked to upload an image file for company logo or have the system create one for him. I will use the company name to create the logo image and point to it from the database. When a user do a search, he will get the information and the company logo based on the selection

The problem: I want to create the image using this script and save it to the web server hard drive and call the image from the html when I need it. In another word, how I can take the output of this script and save it to the hard drive inside of just displaying it as is now. hopefully it is clear.

the name of the script is imagegen.php
<php?
Header("Content-type: image/gif");
if(!isset($s)) $s=15;
if(!isset($text)) $text="Store Logo name";
$size = imagettfbbox($s,0,"/usr/home/v1/a0018851/html/fonts/times.ttf",$text);
$dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
$dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
$xpad=9;
$ypad=9;
$im = imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0x2c,0x6D,0xAF);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad-1,$dy+$ypad-1,$black);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad,$white)
;
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+1, $dy+(int)($ypad/2), $black, "/usr/home/v1/a0018851/html/fonts/times.ttf", $text);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2), $dy+(int)($ypad/2)-1, $white, "/usr/home/v1/a0018851/html/fonts/times.ttf", $text);
Imagejpeg($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
?>

have you ever tried copy() function ??

But before saving your images on the web server you need to clerify few things:

1) you need writing permission on that perticuler directory. for this you can ask to your ISP.

2) Please be sure that your server has got An Antivirus checkup otherwise virus can be uploaded on your server.

tell me if you are still not able to do.

I added the following line to the script, still not copying to the server hard drive.

$imagename=$text.jpeg
$Imagefile=Imagejpeg($im);
copy($imagefile, "/usr/home/html/$imagename");

<php?
Header("Content-type: image/gif");
if(!isset($s)) $s=15;
if(!isset($text)) $text="Store Logo name";
$size = imagettfbbox($s,0,"/usr/home/v1/a0018851/html/fonts/times.ttf",$text);
$dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
$dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
$xpad=9;
$ypad=9;
$im = imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0x2c,0x6D,0xAF);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad-1,$dy+$ypad-1,$black);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad,$white)
;
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+1, $dy+(int)($ypad/2), $black, "/usr/home/v1/a0018851/html/fonts/times.ttf", $text);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2), $dy+(int)($ypad/2)-1, $white, "/usr/home/v1/a0018851/html/fonts/times.ttf", $text);
Imagejpeg($im);
$imagename=$text.jpeg
$Imagefile=Imagejpeg($im);
copy($imagefile, "/usr/home/html/$imagename");

ImageDestroy($im);
