GD Issues.

PHP: Select all

<?php
    $username = $gamertag;
    $gamerpic = "<img src=\"$gamertile\" width=\"38\" height=\"38\">;
    $im = imagecreatefrompng("styles/homecourt.png");
    // $font = imageloadfont("fonts/verdana.tff");
    imagestring($im, arial, 18, 20, $gamertag, ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255));
    imagestring($im, arial, 120, 38, $gamerscore, ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255));
    imagestring($im, arial, 120, 50, $gamerzone, ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255));
    imagestring($im, arial, 18, 32, $gamerpic, ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255));
    imagepng($im,"cards/$username.png");
    
    echo("<img src="cards/$username.png\">");
    ?>

Error #1
This isn't really an error, but i have no idea how i increase the font size? You'll see the image below, kinda small

Error #2
I need the $gamertile(comes from my other script) to be 38px by 38px, but i get a T_STRING error, it's on this line.

PHP: Select all

$gamerpic = "<img src=\"$gamertile\" width=\"38\" height=\"38\">; 

I'm not sure if that's how you do it, but i thought i'd try, can anyone clear this up? How do i place an image ontop of it?

Error #3
Then, this biggest issue is the image some of it's transparency? You can't see it too well because of this forums background color, but it adds white around the image and a little more red?

I'm sorry mate, whish I could help, but I can't.
And by the looks of it, nobody else who has read this tread knows how to help.

Let me know how you get on...

Well the echoing of html in the image won't work but i got an alternative and i managed to get some help on the text, I can add a little shadow underneath and change the font size

Just the quality issue now =/

i play with the gd library a bit..... but im not overly familiar with it..... can you explain a bit more about what your trying to do here?

[PicoDeath]

I'm new to GD aswell, but this is for a gamercard website i'm making, a gamercard is your stats from your xboxlive gold account, displays gamerscore, name zone, gamerpic and such.

Yeah ... I don't know GD either. I've played around a bit with ImageMagick but only to create thumbnails - http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/

Rather than specifying 'arial' as the second parameter, use '5' for a larger built-in font (you can use 1 - 5 with size increasing as you go up the scale).
More on the php page for imagestring.

If you want exact sizes either use a tailored font and load with imageloadfont or something a little more tedious create each letter as a graphic, split your input string letter by letter, then print each corresponding letter image side by side...
