Dabbling with php and GD

and so the fun begins, I'm not really used to working with images in PHP so i've been working on a script to update somethings for news titles with a nice font... but something isn't working

PHP Code:



<?php 
        Header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); 
        $im = imagecreate(399,43); 
#       $im = imagecreatefromjpeg ('test.jpg'); 
        $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,0,0); 
        $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 66,66,66); 
        $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,255,255); 
        $tan = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,247,166); 
        imagettftext($im, 18, 0, 61, 29, $grey, "./impact.ttf", "Hello World"); 
        imagettftext($im, 18, 0, 60, 27, $white, "./impact.ttf", "Hello World"); 
        imagettftext($im, 14, 0, 286, 29, $grey, "./impact.ttf", "Feb. 05 2003"); 
        imagettftext($im, 14, 0, 285, 27, $tan, "./impact.ttf", "Feb. 05 2003"); 
        Imagejpeg($im,'',75); 
        ImageDestroy($im); 
?>

would be my script I commented out the line which calls the image, what happens is that it outputs the image, but none of the ttf text shows up, just creating a new image works, so yeah, whats up with it

Thanks.

too little too late

i figured it out, i...bah just read the script...

PHP Code:



<?php 
if (!isset($action)) { 
$date = `date +'%b. %d %Y'`; 
echo ("<html>\n<head><title>News Updater</title></head>\n"); 
echo ("<body>\n<font size=\"5\">News Updater</font>\n"); 
echo ("<form action=\"?action=1\" method=\"post\">\n"); 
echo ("Header<input type=\"text\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"30\" name=\"header\"><br>\n"); 
echo ("Date<input type=\"text\" size=\"12\" maxlength=\"12\" name=\"date\" value=\"$date\"><br>\n"); 
echo ("<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Hag!\">\n"); 
echo ("</form>\n</body>\n</html>"); 
} 
if ($action == 1) { 
$header = $HTTP_POST_VARS['header']; 
$date = $HTTP_POST_VARS['date']; 
        $im = imagecreate(399,43); 
        $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,0,0); 
        $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,255,255); 
        $tan = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,247,166); 
        $purple = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,0,255); 
        imagefill ($im, 0,0,$purple); 
        imagecolortransparent($im, $purple); 
        imagettftext($im, 18, 0, 51, 29, $black, "./impact.ttf", $header); 
        imagettftext($im, 18, 0, 50, 27, $white, "./impact.ttf", $header); 
        imagettftext($im, 14, 0, 286, 29, $black, "./impact.ttf", $date); 
        imagettftext($im, 14, 0, 285, 27, $tan, "./impact.ttf", $date); 
        $im2 = imagecreatefromjpeg ("test.jpg"); 
        imagecopymerge ($im2,$im, 0,0,0,0, 399,43,90);  
        imagedestroy($im); 
        imagejpeg($im2,'news.jpg',100); 
        imagedestroy($im2); 
echo ("<html>\n<head><title>Yeah, Okay</title></head>\n<body>\n"); 
echo ("<a href=\"news.jpg\">Here ya go</a>\n</body>\n</html>"); 
} 
?>
