Find out what DPI you are printing at and render the image at the correct size (http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081121144421AAlDwp1). That info is for A4, so if you are using a different paper size you'll need to find the pixels for that.

so how wold this work?lets say i want it at

300 dpi (print) = 2480 X 3508 pixels

how can i make a php page with the info to print on it?

cant make a table of 2480 * 3508 and put the pic in background?

Show your code that generates the image and someone can help you out.

the image is already done.

i need to but it as background a make the code on top of it to echo the car' s info..

see this is the image.

Load your image in to GD using imagecreatefromgif() (http://php.net/imagecreatefromgif), then write the text to the image using imagettftext() (http://php.net/imagettftext), and finally write out the result using imagegif() (http://php.net/imagegif).

wow..lol ok i will look it up.thx!

how im i going to add all my echo's with mysql with this?and ow do i specify were to put the image and txt??
