Re: Images and MySQL - please help

It should be possible to do exactly what you want using the image functions in php. You can get an image add text and then save the image in a directory (or database I guess). Because adding a "stamp" takes milliseconds, why not just do the operation when it's needed and erase it when you're done. this way, you need only one database. The bare bones of it would look something like this: <?php header("content-type: image/png"); $image=imagecreatefrompng("./images/xymap.png"); $font="fonts/arial.ttf"; $x="100"; $y="100"; $red=imagecolorallocate($image,255,100,100); imagettftext($image, 8, 0,$x, $y, $red, $font, "text"); imagepng($image,"./images2/xvmap.png"); ImageDestroy($image); header("location: map.htm"); ?> Hope this helps, Hugh ----- Original Message ----- From: "DrTebi" <drtebi@yahoo.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:11 PM Subject: [PHP] Images and MySQL - please help > Hi, > I am trying to do this: > - I have an image stored in database 'A' > - a php script should load this image, and "stamp" it with a watermark > - then the php script should save the new image (with the watermark) > in database 'B' ... > > How can I do this?
