OK, you need to discuss the problem with your host...

You need to know if the GD version is 2 or higher (recommended)
And you need to know if the imagettftext() function is allowed.

That's all I can suggest. It works absolutely fine for me and I have exactly the same version as you. It appears as though only two people are experiencing this problem, which makes me believe that it is something to do with your host.

i have GD2 ill check on the imagettftext right now

[ranger2kxlt]

looks like we dont have imagettftext but i know we have GD2+

[DWard]

ok imagettftext is required for the truetype font printing. Is the imagestring function allowed?

[ranger2kxlt]

let me also tell you this...when i uncomment the line 1 and line 2 i get a prase error on line 260 :-/ would that be something?

[alfata]

same prob here, if i use Line1 the picture apper without forum info, and if i use Line2 picture not apper....

any clue?!

[ranger2kxlt]

I cant tell if imagestring is allowed.

[DWard]

OK, because that is required if you cant use imagettftext. I will be back here 2moro. If you urgently need help, e-mail me (dan@collegepranks.co.uk).

[alfata]

about line1 it apper when i changed //text-margin from top &&& $top = from 70 to 10 it apper

but i want to use line2 for the truetype font!!

thanks

[DWard]

Yer sorry, the margins are set up as they are on my signature!!

You need to be able to use imagettftext function, which has the ability to use a font on your server, however I havnt heard of it too muc, saw it on php.net.

Try uploading the verdana font I attached on the last page in the same dir as the signature.php file and see if it works, if not you will need to consult your host.

[ranger2kxlt]

I will check here again tommorow as well...its not a big deal, nothing to really worry about, just looked like a kewl thing to have :-D Good work :-D

[DWard]

OK, well keep looking and try out the new versions to see how it goes, cheers for your custom tho!

[alfata]

DWard,

i have the same here PHP Version 4.3.4 but nothing apper if i use line2 ??!

[alfata]

yep thats it folks, everyone had the same prob he must check on his site if GD loaded or not by this code:

PHP Code:

<?php 
$loaded = ( bool ) false;
$lib = 'GD';
$data = get_loaded_extensions();
foreach ( $data as $val )
{
if ( stristr( $val, $lib ) ) {
$loaded = true;
}
echo $val . '<br /><br />';
}
if ( $loaded ) {
echo '<strong>' . $lib . ' is loaded';
} else {
echo '<strong>' . $lib . ' is not loaded loaded';
}
?>

other ways if GD loaded so the imagettftext is not allowed at your webhost, so talk to him :devious:


l8er :ninja:

[DWard]

I could understand that web hosts may disallow the imagettftext function as it may take up quite a bit of server resources if used alot.

I will look a bit later into what could be done. I'm sure there's a way round it.
