If you want to deal with it as a .png then use: ImagePNG($im,"some_name.png",100); and then pick up the file anytime using <img src="some_name.png"> You can later remove it from the server using: unlink("some_name.png"); hope this helps.

when you say it doesn't work, do you mean that you get an error message

or

it just doesn't write the text to the image? -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Murphy [mailto:adrian.murphy@2020tourism.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 1:16 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] image generation issues Hi, I'm using the code in the manual to draw text on a png. but Its not working - ImageString() works but not ImageTTFText() I uploaded arial.ttf from windows to fonts/ folder Any Ideas: as a side note: PNG's - any real disadvantage to using them instead of gifs - not withstanding the compuserve issue and old browsers. the code button.php <?php Header ("Content-type: image/png"); $im = imagecreate (400, 30); $black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0); $white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255); ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, "fonts/arial.ttf","Testing...
