RE: [PHP] Creating Images (.GIF) with PHP from Text?

You need the FreeType 2.x library (http://www.freetype.org/) and GD 2.0.1 (http://www.boutell.com/gd) to do that. GD can output text over an image easily. I think the GD gdImageStringFT function can use FreeType to display antialiased text based on a given string. HTH.

How can I create a dynamic image with PHP? Here's what I want to do; I have a counter (kinda) on my website.. and this counter appears in a certain font -- which most computer systems will not have on their systems. So -- I want my PHP script to take a variable value; say 34,000 and save that as a .GIF or .JPG with a Blue Background, and White OCR A Extended 12point non-aliased Font. With the word "Counter: " in-front of the value. Is this possible with PHP (I hope...!) Or, is there a *command line* utility out there for the Win32 platform that does this?
