How does it work?
This generates an image based on the following variables:
$image = imagecreatefrompng('images/countdown.png'); $font = array( 'size'=>23, // Font size, in pts usually. 'angle'=>0, // Angle of the text 'x-offset'=>7, // The larger the number the further the distance from the left hand side, 0 to align to the left. 'y-offset'=>30, // The vertical alignment, trial and error between 20 and 60. 'file'=>'./GillSans.ttc', // Font path 'color'=>imagecolorallocate($image, 55, 160, 130), // RGB Colour of the text );
