Re: PHP Warning: imagettftext() expects parameter 2 to be double

Hi there, I have been using the GD functions from PHP5.0 on Mac OS X. I have a simple script that creates a PNG image with text on the image using fonts using FreeType 2. I am trying to use the imagettftext() function within a foreach loop ­ but I get the following error: PHP Warning: imagettftext() expects parameter 2 to be double

what does paramter 2 contain in each case? var_dump(), print_r(), echo ?!?

The code is as follows:

    $font['type']="./fonts/font.ttf²;

    $font['color']=imageColorAllocate($card['png'],$font['hexcolor']['r'],$font[

'hexcolor']['g'],$font['hexcolor']['b']);

    imageFill($card['png'],0,0,$card['color']);

    foreach ($xml->textblock as $text) {
$fontsize=$text->fontsize;        $fontangle=$text->fontangle;
$fontxpos=$text->fontxpos;        $fontypos=$text->fontypos;
$text=$text->text; 

try var_dump($text); or print_r($text); to see what you have (if its an XML node object - dump $fontsize, $fontxpos instead!!!)

imagettftext($image['png'],$fontsize,$fontangle,$fontxpos,$fontypos,$font['c

olor'],$font['type'],$text);        }

It works fine if I add just one line outside of the loop ­ but as soon as its within the loop it errors. Cheers, James
