You've got 83px in you XML file for the fontsize. the 'px' is messing it up change it to just 83 in the XML file or cast the value to (float) which will extract the 83 and remove the px:

<snip>
	foreach ($xml->textblock as $text) {
	
		$fontsize=(float)$text->fontsize;
		$fontangle=(float)$text->fontangle;
		$fontxpos=(int)$text->fontxpos;
		$fontypos=(int)$text->fontypos;
		$text=$text->text;
		
imagettftext($image['png'],$fontsize,$fontangle,$fontxpos,$fontypos,$fon t['color'],$font['type'],"$text",array());
	
	}
</snip>

Hi,

 Thank you for getting back to me, your the first.

 The array works fine – I have tested it using var_dump().

Attached are the two files – xml.test – this holds the array of the text blocks which is being parsed by image.php.

Line 38 is the problem, if you comment around the foreach() statement and un-comment the commented lines you should see it working fine, its when its within the foreach statement when it errors.

 Regards,

 James

what does paramter 2 contain in each case? var_dump(), print_r(), echo ?!?

 try var_dump($text); or print_r($text); to see what you have
 (if its an XML node object - dump $fontsize, $fontxpos instead!!!)
