New Comment:
I just checked using PHP5 CVS (Built On: Dec 17, 2003 19:30 GMT), and
relative paths ('./arial' and 'arial') do work, but only without the
'.ttf' file extension. For example, 'arial.ttf' as the fontfile
argument does not work.
Absolute paths to the fontfile still do not work, neither in the MS-DOS
naming convention ('C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\Apache2\htdocs\arial.ttf') nor
in the general way ('C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\arial.ttf').

if arial.ttf is inside C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs it
will try to open it.

er wait, I get
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs
(without the trailing backslash)
[2003-12-16 23:49:41] choinet at rocketmail dot com
I get
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\

if you add echo getcwd(); to your script, what directory does it show?

After checking, I determined that the problem with opening the fontfile
in the PHP 5 CVS version of imagettftext() occurs on both Apache 1 and
2 (both sapi modules).

[2003-12-16 16:17:45] choinet at rocketmail dot com I just downloaded both the PHP 5 CVS (Built On: Dec 16, 2003 19:30 GMT) and the Stable 4.3 (Built On: Dec 16, 2003 17:30 GMT) from snaps.php.net, and neither one seems to have fixed the problem. Now, imagettftext and imagettfbbox don't seem to accept even the absolute pathname to the fontfile. I did use the php4apache2.dll from the beta 2 release of PHP 5 for the CVS version, since the CVS version was missing it. [2003-12-15 15:31:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. [2003-12-15 14:56:55] choinet at rocketmail dot com Eh, actually, I should add that in the summertime, I must have used the path c:\Apache\htdocs\arial.tff for the fontfile, so that is why it worked before in the summertime. [2003-12-15 13:22:43] choinet at rocketmail dot com Description: array imagettfbbox ( int size, int angle, string fontfile, string text) This is the prototype for the imagettfbbox() function, and the fontfile argument is the same for the imagettftext() function. On Windows, there is a problem with using relative paths to the fontfile. Full absolute pathname must be used. On Linux systems, however, both absolute and relative pathnames to the fontfile are allowed. In addition, the absolute pathname to the fontfile must have no spaces in it, and pathnames that do have spaces must use the DOS naming convention (e.g. C:\Progra~1\Apache~1\apache2\arial.ttf). This can become quite annoying. So in summary, the imagettfbbox() and imagettftext() do not allow relative paths to the fontfile, and do not allow spaces in the paths, either, on Windows. I did not have this problem before in the summertime when I used an earlier release of PHP 4. Reproduce code: --- [text.php] ?php $fp = imagecreate(300, 100); $color1 = imagecolorallocate($fp, 255, 255, 255); $color2 = imagecolorallocate($fp, 0, 0, 153); $path = 'arial.ttf'; imagettftext($fp, 12, 0, 50, 35, $color2, $path, 'test'); ? the arial true-type font file is in the same directory as text.php. Expected result: I expect to see a white image with the blue text saying 'test.' Actual result: -- Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\text.php on line 5 -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26635edit=1
