RE: [PHP] Best way to put text on image

Todd, I'm not sure if you can write text to an existing image as I add to a new one but here is the code I use... $updateTime = date("F d, Y - h:ia"); $text = "New Movie Reviews @hyrum.net ".$updateTime; $image = ImageCreate(500, 70); $bg = ImageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255); $blue = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 255); $black = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 0); $himage= ImageCreateFromPNG("/home/hyrum/public_html/images/topics/hyrum.png"); ImageRectangle($image, 0, 0, 500, 70, $white); ImageCopy($image, $himage, 410, 5, 1, 1, 89, 64); ImageString($image, 4, 0, 0, $text, $blue); ImageString($image, 3, 0, 20, $title1, $black); ImageString($image, 3, 0, 35, $title2, $black); ImageString($image, 3, 0, 50, $title3, $black); ImagePNG($image, "signature.png"); ImageDestroy($image); So you could create a new image and copy your jpg to the new canvas or (and preferably) someone will know if you can add text to an already existing image...
