From: Karl DeSaulniers on 7 Jul 2010 15:58 Hello, I was wondering if there was any way I can create an image from some text with php? For Eg: I have a text box that will have a number/letter combo, I want it to dynamically gen the num/lett combo, then create say a transparent png of that number/letter combo then display it to the user. Can I take this text box and make it a png? Any pointers or insight appreciated. If anyone happens to knows of a javascript equiv., that would work too. TIA Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com

It's best to save the image once it's first created and use that file if it exists the next time round. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
