[SOLVED] Antialiased text on transparent png image
Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2006 7:36 am
Hi there,
I am trying to create a transparent png image with antialiased text on it. The text has got to have a shadow.
This example comes directly from the PHP website, and does almost everything i need, except: The transparency
Does anyone how to modify this script to make the image transparent?
I tried using :
But could not get it to work..

I am trying to create a transparent png image with antialiased text on it. The text has got to have a shadow.
Code: Select all
<?
// Set the content-type
header("Content-type: image/png");
// Create the image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
// The text to draw
$text = 'Testing...';
// Replace path by your own font path
$font = 'arial.ttf';
// Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

<?
imagecolortransparent($im, false);
