Hi,
it's the first time I use sqlite in PHP script.
All read requests work perfectly but I don't get on execute write

I don't think GD has a built-in function to scale an image the way you
are asking, and to do it on a pixel by pixel basis from within a
function is going to be a very time consuming and memory costly process.
Have you thought about using ImageMagik to do this? I know that you can

Hi KLEIN, I think the problem is where you are connecting to your
database. I've not used SQL lite before, but the function spec says that
you have too many arguments. It suggests connecting like this:
if ($db = new SQLiteDatabase('filename'))
Also, do you need to specify the sqlite: protocol

Yes, if you wish to stretch text in this way then you will have to
create the image and stretch. You can create the image in memory and
perform the stretching on it there if you are worried about writing too
