yea I have somewhat modified it from the original script and cannot release the updated script due to the fact that I now use True Type Fonts, and some installations of PHP will not support it. The TTF functions are what I used to determine how wide the image should be.

If you have the true type library installed check out the following two functions

imagettfbbox -- Give the bounding box of a text using TrueType fonts
imagettftext -- Write text to the image using TrueType fonts

How do I change the font color?

Code: Select all

<?php
include("includes.php");
header("Content-Type: image/png");
$im = imagecreatefrompng("songband1.png");
if ($im)
{

ImageString($im,  1,  37,  4,  "Hipbase.com Radio - Live Tragically Hip".$desc, 5);
ImageString($im,  2,  67,  12,  "Currently Playing: ".$current_song,  1);
ImageString($im,  2,  67,  23,  "There are $listeners / $max_listeners listeners",   2);
ImagePNG($im);
}
?>

colors are referenced from the original image, the last number parameter given in the image string function points to the color in the png color palette. If you want to add colors to the pallete, be sure to do this before calling ImageString, and use the number returned by the function, imagecolorallocate.
