Hi, THanks for your reply.
I search the manual and created following script.
<?
header ("Content-type: image/gif");
$im = imagecreate (400, 16);
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext ($im, 10, 0, 10, 20, $black, "verdana.ttf", date('| l | F | d
| Y |'));
imagegif ($im);
imagedestroy ($im);
?>
I got following error msg when ran it:
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: ImageTtfText: No TTF support in this PHP build in
<b>/home/dotkard/www/current_time.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>: ImageGif: No GIF support in this PHP build in
<b>/home/dotkard/www/current_time.php</b> on line <b>7</b><br>
I checked the phpinfo but failed to find which variable I should turn on.
