anyone know how to place a white box at the bottom of this image?

PHP Code:

<?php

   header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

   $string = $_GET['text'];

   $im    = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg");

   $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 000, 000, 00);

   $px    = (imagesx($im) - 7.5 * strlen($string)) / 2;

   imagestring($im, 3, $px, 9, $string, $black);

   imagejpeg($im);

   imagedestroy($im);

?>

as i have this, but i would like to put a white box behind the text? any ideas

Create a css class for the text with box attribute and apply it to the text.

Can you expand on your requirements : )

As I see it you want to use "http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg" as the background. On the background you want a white box and some text in the box.

If you use ImageMagick rather than GD you could add a white box image to the original image and then add some text to that image. Would probably take two passes at acheving this but you could use a temp image.

I know a good example of ImageMagick and would use it in preferance to GD; you have also caught me at a bad time as just removed my website to start again and have deleted all the things I tried.
