I'm simply trying to get the width of a dynamic line of text for addition to an image generated with GD PHP. I'm a little unsure how though. I know how to load a font using imageloadfont(), but can I use a .ttf file? I want to know the width of text using size 12 arial font. When I try to use my ttf file I get the error "Error reading font, invalid font header." If I need a .gdf file, where can I find a font size 12 gdf file? Here's my code: $newfont = imageloadfont("../fonts/arial.ttf"); $font_width = imagefontwidth($newfont); $font_height = imagefontheight($newfont); imageloadfont() is used

How do I go about enabling GD Support in a CentOS Installation? The thing that did the trick for me eventually was: yum install gd gd-devel php-gd and then restart apache: service httpd restart You need to find a repo that offers a GD lib matching your current php version. I've had great success using Remi Collet's repo for this purpose. In fact, I used it yesterday to update my php install to the latest 5.4.0RC6 version on my CentOS6 box. Once you've setup the repo it's a simple matter of running sudo yum install php-gd Of course, the usual things apply: make sure you restart apache after

I'm creating an "image generator" where users can upload an image and add text and/or draw on it. The outputted image is a fixed size (698x450). On the client side, when the user uploads their image it is set as the background of a div that's 698x450 with background-size:cover. This makes it fill the area nicely. The final combined image is generated by PHP using GD functions. My question is, how can I get the image to scale in PHP the same way it does in CSS. I want the result of the PHP script to look the same as if the image was set in CSS as it was above. Does anyone know how browsers

I had been using the image resize class written by someone else to resize images or to create the thumbnails, here is the link to the class I had been using. http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/php-image-resizing.php I guess image GD library has some limitations for the resolution or the file size of images, it works fine for low resolution picture resizing(below 1024px) but it does not resize if I try to upload the high resolution jpeg image (i.e 3400px X 2200px) roughly, The purpose for resizing the image is i am developing a picture gallery application. Is there any way I could

Background, I am converting images to ascii art. This works perfectly and even works with 24-bit color, converting the colors to the right rgb values. However, I now want to render the ascii art in 4-bit color palette rather than 24-bit. How do I convert 24-bit colors to 4-bit with PHP? More specifically, I have the standard IRC color pallet which I need to convert any given Hexidecimal or RGB value to. It is preferred that the colors match as best as possible when converted to the 4-bit color. Other ideas I have had on this are to convert the image itself to a 4-bit palette (using GD, which

I've got a PNG image with a transparent background and a white circle. I'm trying to colorize the white circle into a specific color, but I'm having difficulty using this code: $src = imagecreatefrompng('circle.png'); $handle = imagecolorclosest($src, 255,255,255); imagecolorset($src,$handle,100,100,100); $new_image_name = "new_image.png"; imagepng($src,$new_image_name); imagedestroy($src) Any suggestions would be really helpful. Thank you in advance. Your PNG image I assume has alpha transparency, which makes imagecolorset() useless as you'll just remove the transparency (or end up with

<?php function LoadPNG($imgname) { /* Attempt to open */ $im = @imagecreatefrompng($imgname); /* See if it failed */ if(!$im) { /* Create a blank image */ $im = imagecreatetruecolor(150, 30); $bgc = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $tc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc); /* Output an error message */ imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'Error loading ' . $imgname, $tc); } return $im; } header('Content-Type: image/png'); $img = LoadPNG('http://www.prideofhome.com/wp-content/uploads/328145505image_11.png'); imagepng($img); imagedestroy($img); ?> i am

I have the code below that makes an image out of a large amount of text. I want that image to be 700px wide. I also want it to keep the paragraph structure that the string has. (the string is from a MySQL database.) How can i achieve that? $font = 2; $width = imagefontwidth($font) * strlen($string); $height = imagefontheight($font); $image = imagecreatetruecolor ($width,$height); $white = imagecolorallocate ($image,255,255,255); $black = imagecolorallocate ($image,0,0,0); imagefill($image,0,0,$white); imagestring ($image,$font,0,0,$string,$black); ob_start(); imagepng($image); printf('<img src
