The internet is vastly laced with search engines. I suggest you use one.

yeah, you don't understand because you want somebody to write it for you.

try here

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

with that you can get any info you want to do images in php.

to write text on an already existing image will take more than php, you have to use css and position it over the image already there. if fact it is called a layer.

Hobo, glad you found that thread again, that was funny LOL

No, i mean i just want to write text on a new image, not on an existing.
