I'm starting to mess around with PHP-GD for the first time, and I'm encountering an issue that's bugging me: the only image I get is just a black box, even if I set the color to white.
Here's the code in question: <?php // Set the content-type header("Content-type: image/png"); // Create the image $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 50); // Create some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 204, 204, 204); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); // The text to draw $text = 'Testing...'; // Replace path by your own font path $font = '/path/to/font/arial.ttf'; // Add some shadow to the text imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text); // Add the text imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text); // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg() imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> ...and the image it creates: http://mossroot.com/imgtest.php Looking at phpinfo(), I see that GD is installed, TTF support is enabled, and FreeType support is enabled as well. And I know that GD works on the server, since I've got a couple of applications that use it and use it successfully. But all I get is this black box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Richard S.
