Looks like it's a matter of stitching a few images together. The easiest way
is to keep each letter of the alphabet in a separate image, then generate
img tags base on what the user type in:

$letters = preg_split('//', $input, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_E MPTY);
echo "<nobr>";
foreach($letter s as $letter) {
echo "<img src=\"img/letters/$letter.gif\">" ;
}
echo "</nobr>";

If you want a single image, you can use the GD function to joint the images
together.

Re: font script.

thankyou Chung for your help, but i have to say that this looks a
little too advanced for my skills at the present time :(

I understand from this that i will need to create a simple form, and
have images in the specified folder that i have made, but apart from
the "echo" command i don't really understand much more of your code.

It probably looks easy to some of you but i haven't acquired enough
skills yet to implement this.

I shall continue to "hang around " in this group and go back to the
PHP manual and learn. :)

thanx again.. Sarah.

I noticed that Message-ID:

the following:

The script pretty much works as is.

I have six images of the numbers 1 to 6 named 1.jpg, 2.jpg and so on
Obviously for an alphabet you need many more.
