[webhost]

got it working but had to change to this

PHP Code:

<?
Header("Content-type: image/png");
if(!isset($s)){$s=11;}
$size = imagettfbbox($s,0,"/home/username/public_html/font/fonts/verdana.TTF",$text);
$dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
$dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
$xpad=9;
$ypad=9;
$im = imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0x2c,0x6D,0xAF);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad-1,$dy+$ypad-1,$black);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad,$white);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+1, $dy+(int)($ypad/2), $black, "/home/username/public_html/font/fonts/verdana.TTF", $text);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2), $dy+(int)($ypad/2)-1, $white, "/home/username/public_html/font/fonts/verdana.TTF", $text);
imagepng($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
?>
