Re: Text to Image?

thanks for the info -- i cannot figure out how to use the built in php functions -- i've downloaded the ImageMagicK programs -- win32 binaries -- do you happen to know how to convert Text to Gif using the command line convert.exe ??? there are no examples -- it's amazing how difficult this all is... you'd figure there'd be an easy way to convert text to .gif -- i'll have various text docs, of various sizes -- that i'll want to convert on the fly to gif files. the text files could be between 100 to 10000 lines. thanks jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Wong" <php-general@gremlins.com.hk> Newsgroups: php.general To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 10:43 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Text to Image? > On Wednesday 08 May 2002 13:29, Jason Caldwell wrote: > > Don't know if this can do this with PHP or not -- if not, then maybe > > someone can recommend a good program. > > > > I'm looking to save some text out to a .GIF file.
