Dynamicly Create Images...??

[The Wizzard]

Howdy guys...

I was wondering, how do you do this...

You have a text box, in the text box you type a word, lets us "Image". Okay, so you type "Image" and then hit submit. Then have an image created that says "Image"... How would you do that?

I hope I am clear in my explanation.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

With PHP and GD :)

Can't create images with client side coding

I expected that it couldnt be done with client side scripting, but I really wasnt sure where else to put it...

Can it be done with ASP? And what is GD?

Thanks!

Not strictly true, Java (not Javascript) can do it but of course that's another language.

what about having the text that the user supplies go into a layer above the image. You can make it look like the text is part of the image but it will really be above it.


<span style="position:absolute; top:207; left:295; font-size:14pt; font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold; color:#910301"><%= user_text %></span>

It may not be the best solution, but its an alternative...
