The following is the format needed in order to run the convert command from command line, but I have a problem in exec() format: convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity southeast -draw "text 10,10 'my text to add to picture'" text-overlay.jpg this causes problems "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING": exec('convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity southeast -draw "text 10,10 'my text to add to picture'" text-overlay.jpg'); I am positive the it is due to all the "s and 's within the command, I have tried the specialchars for quotes andapostrophes but I am still missing something: exec('convert picture.jpg -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 20 -fill red -gravity southeast -draw &quottext 10,10 \'my text to add to picture\'&quot text-overlay.jpg'); If anyone has any ides on how to avoid probles with quotes andapostrophes inside the exec() I am all ears :o) Thanks --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
