You've got 83px in you XML file for the fontsize. the 'px' is messing

well spotted Jeffery; James didn't I say to var_dump() the vars you
create inside the loop?? print_r() and var_dump() are your friends!

foreach ($xml->textblock as $text) {
$fontsize=(float)$text->fontsize;
$fontangle=(float)$text->fontangle;
$fontxpos=(int)$text->fontxpos;
$fontypos=(int)$text->fontypos;
$text=$text->text;
i.e.
var_dump($fontsize, $fontangle, $fontxpos, $fontypos, $text);
imagettftext($image['png'],$fontsize,$fontangle,$fontxpos,$fontypos,$fon
t['color'],$font['type'],"$text",array());
one other thing, there is no point in writing:
"$text"
the quotes have no use (assuming $text is a string), in
fact its a [very small] waste of processing power.

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!!!)
