Hello,
I want to load text from a .txt file on the web and put it on to an image. How can I do that in php?
Thanks.

I don't have any experience with this, but you may find some useful information in the Image Functions section of the PHP Manual

Code for the image (pinched from somewhere - can't remember where though Sad

):

Code:

//what we want the image to say.
$pic=ImageCreate(100,30); //(width, height)

//colour1
$col1=ImageColorAllocate($pic,0,0,0);

//colour2
$col2=ImageColorAllocate($pic,255,255,255);//colour1

//Create a rectangle filled with colour2
ImageFilledRectangle($pic, 0, 0, 500, 30, $col2);

//Add the string to the image
ImageString($pic, 3, 5, 8, $text, $col1);

// Date in the past, so that the image is not cached by the browser
Header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");

//tell the browser what it's about to recieve
Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

//actually create the JPEG
ImageJPEG($pic);

//clean up!
ImageDestroy($pic);

Assign the text file's contents to the $text variable.
