$font = "/TURNB___.TTF" or die("Font loading failed");
$im = @imagecreate(150, 50) or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$bc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

$im = @imagecreate(150, 50) or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$bc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

<?php

// image text
$text = $_GET['text'];

// make sure it doesn't cache
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Content-type: image/png");

// get size of string to make image correct size
$size = imagettfbbox(8,0,"arial.ttf",$content);
$dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
$dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);

//make image
$im = imagecreate($dx,$dy);

//create the background image and font color
$bg = imagecreatefromgif('bg.gif');
$black = imagecolorallocate($im,0,0,0);

//put the background image in the correct size image
imagecopy($im,$bg,0,0,0,0,$dx,$dy);

//write text with arial font (file is in same directory as this script)
imagettftext($im, 8, 0, 0, $dy, $black, "arial.ttf", $text);

//show image
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

?>

That is a script I use, play with it a bit.

Good luck.
