How do I make the text transparent over the background ?
In my web app, I want to to put a layer BEHIND the image to control the
color of the php-created text
So, the layer color in the web app shows thru the text php creates....
Would like to use alpha transparency so the color looks clean :)
how would I amend the below script to do this ?
many thanks
g
header("Content-type:".$mime); //$mime = image/png
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 16); //use to draw a text box
imageAlphaBlending($im, true);
imageSaveAlpha($im, true);
$left = 5; //add a little pad to the left edge
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$fontSize = 11;
// choose a font
$fontPath = "/home/siren/fonts/";
$defaultFont = "tahomabd.ttf";
$fontName = "arial.ttf";
$font = $fontPath.$fontName ;
if (! file_exists($font)) {
$font = $fontPath.$defaultFont ;
}
$text= "background color shows through the text" // Add the text
imagettftext($im, $fontSize, 0, 10, 13, $color, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
readfile($im);
imagedestroy($im);
