Hi there, I am trying to put text into an image. There are some problems where I do not find a solution for. The image is a jpg and stored on the filesystem. Now I would like to create a stamp in trutype font verdana with a name. Just the text on the image. I experianced following problems: o The text has a white background which covers the other image o It does not work with truetype. I tryed imagettftext but results in a broken image. Here is the code which should do the job, but does not: $label = imagecreate(200,50); $white = imagecolorallocate($label,255,255,255); $black = imagecolorallocate($label,0,0,0); Imagestring($label,1,0,0,'andy',$black); #Imagettftext($label, 30,0,10,33,$black,'verdana.ttf',$number); $photoImage = ImageCreateFromJPEG('card_city.jpg'); $pos_x = 5; $pos_y= 220; $label_w= 200; $label_h = 50; ImageCopy($photoImage, $label, $pos_x, $pos_y, 0, 0, $label_w, $label_h); header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); imagejpeg($photoImage); Has anybody an idea how to solve this prob? Thanx in advance for any help. Andy
