    drawing images and text

    Hello

    i have a code:
    /* some code creating picture */
    header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
    imagepng($new);

    it draws my picture correctly.

    But what to do when i want to draw a picture on my page - with other text
    data ?
    When i tried to:
    header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
    echo "Some text"
    imagepng($new);

    my web browser received "Some text <image code" and did not know how to
    display it.

    How can i fix it and display drawed image along with other things on my
    page ?


    Thanx

      PHP: imagettftext - Manual
      http://fi.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php
      Write text to the image using TrueType fonts

      On the manual page there is an example:

      <?php
      // Set the content-type
      header("Content-type: image/png");

      // Create the image
      $im = imagecreatetrue color(400, 30);

      // Create some colors
      $white = imagecoloralloc ate($im, 255, 255, 255);
      $grey = imagecoloralloc ate($im, 128, 128, 128);
      $black = imagecoloralloc ate($im, 0, 0, 0);
      imagefilledrect angle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);

      // The text to draw
      $text = 'Testing...';
      // Replace path by your own font path
      $font = 'arial.ttf';

      // Add some shadow to the text
      imagettftext($i m, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);

      // Add the text
      imagettftext($i m, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);

      // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
      imagepng($im);
      imagedestroy($i m);
      ?>

          I do not want to display text ON the image. I want to display text
          after/before the image.
          I want to display that image on my corporate page with hundreds of other
          images/text/html/frames/flash....
          Is it possible ?

          (i want to aviod creating of temporary files for my dynamically generated
          images)

          Thanx

              I may be wrong (not played with GD for quite a while), but I *think*
              you just use a normal HTML <imgtag in the page to reference the
              script which draws the image. So:

              <HTML>
              <BODY>
              <p>Some text</p>
              <img src="myimagescr ipt.php?whateve r=parameters"/>

              <p>More text</p>

              </BODY>
              </HTML>

                  Correct. Use two PHP pages, one producing HTML and one producing JPEG
                  (or PNG, for that matter). The HTML page can reference the image (which
                  was produced by PHP) as if it was a normal image.
