parsing /n/r with random text

[Takara]

Hai there, I'm using a little script to output random text to an image (PNG). But the problem is that it doesnt parse /n/r inside it, to make the new lines.

It just, displays them. Here is the script:

PHP Code:

<?php 

$quotes = file('imagequotes.txt');
$quote = rand(0, sizeof($quotes)-1);
$cquote = $quotes[$quote];

$image=imageCreate(660,40); 
$white=imageColorAllocate($image,255,255,255); 
$black=imageColorAllocate($image,0,0,0); 
$grey=imageColorAllocate($image,199,199,199);

imageColorTransparent($image, $white); 
imageFilledRectangle($image,0,0,250,20,$white); 

ImageTTFText ($image,13,0,2,10,-$grey, "arial.ttf","$cquote");
imagePNG($image); 
imageDestroy($image); 
?>

Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

hmm, not sure, but have you tried this:

PHP Code:

ImageTTFText ($image,13,0,2,10,-$grey, "arial.ttf",nl2br($cquote));

Well, its outputted to an image... so, it would just put <br /> in there since gifs don't parse html last I checked ~_^

right?

I ended up doing this for lack of a better option

PHP Code:

<?php 

$quotes = file('imagequotes.txt');
$quote = rand(0, sizeof($quotes)-1);
$quotes[$quote] = str_replace('\n\r', "
 ", $quotes[$quote]);

$image=imageCreate(660,40); 
$white=imageColorAllocate($image,255,255,255); 
$black=imageColorAllocate($image,0,0,0); 
$grey=imageColorAllocate($image,199,199,199);

imageColorTransparent($image, $white); 
imageFilledRectangle($image,0,0,250,20,$white); 
ImageTTFText ($image,13,0,2,10,-$grey, "arial.ttf",$quotes[$quote]);

imagePNG($image); 
imageDestroy($image); 
?>

Anyone have a real solution? -.-

How about exploding the string at '/r/n' or '/n' and then using ImageTTFText in a loop or something to print out the exploded strings.

Just a thought.
