[GD] Could Not Find/open Font - Font Problem
I know this subject was up several times but Icant get it work use gd2 on win32 <? putenv('GDFONTPATH=f:swdfont'); $font = "f:/swd/font/arial.ttf"; $im = imagecreate (250, 28); $black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0); $yellow = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 235, 235, 51); ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $yellow, $font, "comming text or not?"); ImagePNG($im,test.png); ?> <img src="test.png" alt="image"> but I allway get error about not finding font ..
Relative Path / Absolute Path
What is the best way to resolve paths within a document regardless of what path it is opened under? For example: I have x.php and it contains <img src="images...">, (amongst other things, like php code), which resolves the correct image path when opened under / but when x.php is read into a file under /dir the image no longer resolves, for obvious reasons. With absolute paths, this isn't an issue but it is with relative paths. Although I can think of a kludge, or two, I figure that there is a more elegant solution.
PS Font
I have been trying to use .pfb fonts (Type 1) to generate dynamic images. However the text in the images is very aliased and blurred. This is of course not because of the font or the font style itself. Please let me know if you have any ideas or opinions about it. Code snippet: $SIZE = 14; $FONT_PATH = "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/hell.pfb"; $FONT = ImagePSLoadFont($FONT_PATH); $im = ImageCreate(100, 100); $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $gray = ImageColorAllocate($im, 134, 134, 134); // draw ImagePSText($im, $str, $FONT, $SIZE, $gray, $gray, 0, $SIZE,0,0,0,16); ImagePSFreeFont($FONT);
Can You Arc A Font With PHP?

With Includes / Font Tag
I was wondering how I would be able to strip the <font> tags from a file when I include it so it can take on the characteristics of my own stylesheet instead of the font tag attributes.
PHP Font Boundingbox Help
I'm trying to understand how to work with bounding boxes around text with the GD2 library. I thought I understood the concepts and wrote a simple program to make sure. Here it is: <?php putenv('GDFONTPATH=c:windowsfonts'); $bbox=imagettfbbox(10,0,"arial.ttf","Hello World"); echo "upper left ($bbox[6],$bbox[7])-----upper right ($bbox[4],$bbox[5])<br><br>"; echo "lower left ($bbox[0],$bbox[1])-----lower right ($bbox[2],$bbox[3])"; ?> The idea is for me to find out the bounding box coordinates for a Hellow World message. The output produced has me very confused though. It shows the coordinates as follows: upper left (-1,-10)-----upper right (66,-10) lower left (-1,-1)-----lower right (66,-1) I understand how the lower left coordinate can be -1,-1, and the lower right coordinate seems logical, too. How, though, can the upper coordinates have y values of -10? That's below the baseline! It would seem logical that since I specified a font size of 10 my Y coordinates on the top would be roughly 10 more than the y coordinates of the lower corners. So, I'd expect the upper coordinates to be something like (-1,10) and (66,10). Where is the negative 10 coming from?

Stamps/inserts Small Images (logos) Onto Larger Images.
It may be called image stamping or water marking but im not sure. Basically i want a script that prints/stamps a smaller image onto a larger one, the smaller mage being a logo. This will make it harder for people to steal my pictures as they will have my logo on them. An example of this is with ebay, when you submit a picture of the item your selling ebay will printe a small logo in the bottom right corner of the picture. Could anyone suggest a script for this, just a simple one then i can mess around with it and make it better.

ImageString: How Do I Use A Font That Is Not One Of The Default 5?

Thoughts On Font-size Control
I have been researching some different techniques to controll font size on a webpage and offer users a way to easily manipulate the font and was curious as to what methods others were using/had used in the past for this sort of thing. I have been using static point font sizes on a stylesheet. With a script that swaps out the stylesheet for one with larger point sizes upon clicking a button. I chose this technique out of all the others I have seen because it seemed to offer the most compatability with slightly out of date browers etc. However the built in font controll from IE, Firefox etc. still wreaks havoc on my sites layout. I am worried about using em's as I just dont see how to make that work in conjunction with images that are far less plyable than the text and other design elements. is there any way to supress the view>textsize? Has anyone had success with em's? Or does anyone have an interesting way to tackle this problem?

Adding Font Effects To A Very Small Php Bit

Dynamic CSS - Changing Font Size
I've written a bit of script that allows a user to change the font size on a web page. I am aware that this can be done via browser settings, but the client wants the feature on the web page. My script uses a cookie to keep the users font choice persistent. However, when I run the script, the web page doesn't recognize the users font choice unless I refresh the page. Once I refresh the page, everything works fine. So I'm confused as to why the browser doesn't recognize the font choice right away. Any suggestions? Code:
Imagettftext Error Cannot Open/Find Font

I basically copied the text from the php site and changed the file path to reflect my arrangement: PHP Code:
Chinese, Japanese Font Issues With Mail
Can anyone provide me the simplest working solution to send mails in a multilingual website that too with no issues relating to display of characters, as of now I have find a solution which is working quite well, which is to paste a japanese or chinese lang. sentences to an editor like dreamweaver in design mode and paste the generated char code eg. #1045 to the database table to create a mail template, this is working fine but a labour job. Can you provide me with a more intelligent solution? such as by setting the charSet or something else as of I am using the phpmailer class for the purpose...
Encoding/characterset/font Family Confusion
I could use a bit of guidance on the following matter. I am starting a new project now and must make some decisions regarding encoding. Environment: PHP4.3, Postgres7.4.3 I must be able to receive forminformation and store that in a database and later produce it on screen on the client (just plain HTML). Nothing special. I do this for many years, but I never paid a lot of attention to special characters. A few day ago I discovered that the euro-sign is not defined in all fontfamilies. They cannot produce the right sign no matter if I use € or the hexadecimal equivalent. After a little research I found I could put font-tags around the euro-sign with another font-family (Arial in this case) to get the Euro sign. I am completely graphical impaired, and only understand programmingcode (and HTML/JavaScript of course) , so this is a weak point on my side, hence this question. I target on Europe only at the moment (no need for Chineese charactersupport) That said, will the following setup make sense? Postgresql db encoding scheme: LATIN1 In the headers of all my HTML: content-type: text/html charset: iso-8859-1 A few related questions: 1) Will people be able to copy/paste info from other sources (like wordprocessing programs and other websites) into my forms? 2) Can I use regular expressions as I am used to (ASCII) in my PHP code? Will I match e acute, eurosign, etc? 3) Will the roundtrip describe here under have problems with normal expected european characters? client copies some text from some source -> paste in the form -> receive by PHP -> insert in Postgresql (or update) -> retrieve from postgresql -> display as HTML (with content-type: text/html charset: iso-8859-1) Is that OK? Any pitfalls? Should I maybe use UTF-8?
Font Color In Jpeg Image (nearly) Always Orange
I am trying to run a basic script that displays an existing jpeg image and writes some text over it. Sounds simple, but I cannot seem to be able to colour the font correctly. In the example below it should be black but it comes out orange. In fact, even if I change the colour to 0, 0, 255 it's orange. I've read in the PHP documentation (the user contributed notes) that there are issues with jpeg font colouring. But I've not seen any details. Can anyone shed light on this for me please? The example code below is called as a function. The $image variable is a path to the existing image file and the $ttf variable is a path to a TrueType font. The $text variable contains a text string. header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); $base_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($image); $font = $ttf; $fontcolor = imagecolorallocate($base_image, 0, 0, 0); imagettftext($base_image, 18, 0, 10, 100, $fontcolor, $font, $text); imagejpeg($base_image); imagedestroy($base_image);
Changing Font Size Of GDF Fonts Over PNG Image
I used imagecreatefrompng("ur.png"), and created a png image. And used imagestring($im, $fontgdf, $leftPos, $height, $text, $txtcolor); to write over the png image. I downloaded and used gdf fonts. Function imagestring() does not take fontsize as parameter, therefore i could not change the font size.
Postcript Library And Fonts - Printer Embedded Font

Displaying Php Chart Text On My Host Using An Uploaded Font
Hi im trying to get a chart to display using php. I get an error at the moment when i use the function (or any requiring an uploaded font to be used): imagettftext($image, 6, 0, 0, $initial_point, $colorRed, 'Verdana', $initial_value); The error stems from the loading of the verdana ('Verdana') font file which IS uploaded and works locally but for some reason the script cant find the file on your site so its returning an error. Does anyonw know what what might be the cause of this? For example I am using a mac to work locally and then uploading to the php server which is linuz might i need to use diferent fonts or something on the server?

Path To Php
Is there any way (on Windows) to determine, from within php, the directory that it is running from? In other words, what is the path to PHP? This particularly concerns the CLI php versions. On Linux, it has been suggested to do: which php but even this wouldn't help me since that would just show A php on the include path and not necessarily the currently executing instance. Also, getcwd() at startup only shows the path that php was started from and __FILE__ and phpinfo() do not offer this info either.
Set Path In *nix
I need to be able to set the command path from PHP on any *nix system, any shell. I know there are different formats depending on the shell; when I do a getenv(), it shows the colon-delimited format, but when I try to change it with putenv(), it's ignored, no matter what format I use, or even if I give it just a single path.
Path
I'm not sure if this is actually a PHP problem but I'm creating a web tool using PHP and am having probs. I've got a script which runs fine in command line but not on the web page. I think the problem is that when it is run externally the path info is not there and it doesn't know where to find the actual program that is then supposed to be run (from within the script). Is there a way of setting the PATH at the top of the script?
Get Php File Name WITHOUT Path
I have a page in Apache with a path like "localhost/projects/main.php" and I need to retrieve only "main.php", or whatever the current PHP page name is. Anyone would think that some of these methods should return the file name: $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] But *ALL* of those methods return "projects/main.php"... d'oh! How can I retrieve the file name ONLY, without path?
