Combining picture with PHP

[Joe]

Hi
i am wondering if there is a way to combine a picture and php or javascript?

so someone can copy a piece of code e.g.

<a href="http://mysite.com"><img src="TheImage.ext"></a>

or w/e
and it has the image
and above the image is like a countdown script, or a time script

thanks alot

Joe

Ok here's the small tutorial

1.Ensure that gd is activ. Usually php comes with the gd extension preinstalled. Search in php.ini for ;extension=php_gd2.dll, if you find it remove the ";", save it and restart apache. If php doesn't have the gd extension preinstalled please view the imagemagick site http://www.imagemagick.com/(vezi instructiunile de instalare).

2.We make a small image template in my case ( see bellow )

3.We chose a font ( we need the .ttf file)

4.The php code(see bellow)

<?php
	
	//
	//We set the headers
	//
	
	Header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
	Header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
	Header('Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1977 01:12:00 GMT');
	Header('Pragma: no-cache');
	
	//
	//What the browser ?!
	//
	
	function browser($browser_def){
	if (!(strpos($browser_def,'Mozilla') === false)){
		if (!(strpos($browser_def,'Opera') === false)) $browser = 'Opera';
			elseif (!(strpos($browser_def,'Firefox') === false)) $browser = 'Firefox';
			elseif (!(strpos($browser_def,'Netscape') === false)) $browser = 'Netscape';
			elseif (!(strpos($browser_def,'MSIE') === false)) $browser = 'IE';
			else $browser = 'Unknow';
		}
	return $browser;
	}
	
	//
	//We create a image from the image template
	//
	
	$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("template.jpeg");
	
	//
	//Font color
	//
	
	$font_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 203, 203, 203);
	
	//
	//Path to font
	//
	
	$font = 'Font.TTF';
	
	//
	//Set the ip
	//
	
	$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
	
	//
	//Scriem ip-ul pe imagine
	//
	
	ImageTTFText($image, 12,0, 38,73, $font_color , $font, $ip);
	
	//
	//Call for browser function
	//
	
	$browser = browser($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
	
	//
	//Write the browser to image
	//
	
	ImageTTFText($image, 12,0, 80,48, $font_color , $font, $browser);
	
	//
	//Show image
	// 
	
	imagepng($image);
	
	//
	//We destroy the image
	//
	
	imagedestroy($image);
?>

5. We create an .htaccess file and we insert the text bellow

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

6.We copy the .htaccess in the same place with the php file

Note: you can change the extension from .php to .jpeg if you want to add it to your sig etc

We should have as a result (see bellow)

Note: if you find this usefull you can add me some rep :hehe:
