RE: [PHP] image generation issues
unfortunately, the unix php version I've got access to doesn't have support
for TTFs :( but the Windows box does - I have to specify the full path to
the font - try that and see if that helps.

Re: [PHP] image generation issues
Adrian,
If you're using the code displayed, you need to use $im before you destroy
it.
If you want to deal with it as a .png then use:
ImagePNG($im,"some_name.png",100);
and then pick up the file anytime using
You can later remove it from the server using:
unlink("some_name.png");
hope this helps.
Hugh
