Write text on imge...AND save it to disk..

Hi, Have very little of idea of the GD functions (and dont ahve imagemagik) so am having problems.... 1. I need to read all the images from a dir and write something on it at the bottom right side of the picture 2.save this image in a diff folder keeping the originals as is. I have worked out the logic to fetch the imgs from the folder into an array but the rest is beyond me... I HAVE gotten a good class that does a lot but...it does not save the image, it outputs it to the browser (class below) can anybody help me save the file to a folder on my disk please? I have gone to http://se.php.net/image, searched the archives, http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Tips_and_Tutorials/Image_Manipulation/ and google...but am as confused as ever...maybe because its 5am ;-) and been working whole day. Solutions or URLs are most welcome, thanks in advance. -Mag ************************* Class ************** <? class img_add_txt{ /* Created by Richard Sumilang http://www.richard-sumilang.com object img_add_txt($array); ------------------------------------ This function adds text on top of an image Usage: ------------------------------------ $config=array( "text" => "Coupon: Here is your free coupon", "text_colors" => "255 68 0", // RGB Seperated by spaces "image_loc" => "example.jpg", "image_type" => "JPEG", // PNG and GIF Supported // Optional arguments; default is center area on image "x_pos" => "", "y_pos" => "", ); $graphic=new img_add_txt($config); */ function img_add_txt($config){ // header //header("Content-Type: image/gif"); $this->func_header($config['image_type']); // set up image $im = ImageCreateFromJPEG($config['image_loc']); // Set up text colors $text_colors=explode(" ", $config['text_colors']); $text_color = ImageColorAllocate($im, $text_colors['0'], $text_colors['1'], $text_colors['2']); // get font dimensiona $font_height = ImageFontHeight(3); $font_width = ImageFontWidth(3); // get image dimensiona $image_height = ImageSY($im); $image_width = ImageSX($im); // get string length $length = $font_width * strlen($config['text']); // set the x, y cords of where the text will be placed if(empty($config['x_pos'])){ // calculate start coordinates for string $image_center_x = ($image_width/2)-($length/2); }else{ $image_center_x = $config['x_pos']; } if(empty($config['y_pos'])){ // calculate start coordinates for string $image_center_y = ($image_height/2)-($font_height/2); }else{ $image_center_y = $config['y_pos']; } // write string ImageString($im, 3, $image_center_x, $image_center_y, $config['text'], $text_color); // output to browser $this->output_image($config['image_type'], $im); }// End img_add_txt /* Output the correct header based on file type */ function func_header($var){ switch($var){ case "PNG": header("Content-Type: image/png"); break; case "GIF": header("Content-Type: image/gif"); break; case "JPEG": header("Content-Type: image/jpeg"); break; } }// End func_header /* Output the correct image type based on type */ function output_image($var, $pointer){ switch($var){ case "PNG": ImagePNG($pointer); break; case "GIF": ImageGIF($pointer); break; case "JPEG": ImageJPEG($pointer); break; } } // End out output image } // End of class ?> ===== ------ - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
