Well, use Image Functions (requires a library called GD; to check if your server has it installed use phpinfo(); )

Code: Select all

<?php

header("Content-type: image/png");

$image = @imagecreatefromjpeg('taco.jpg');

$color = ****($image, 0, 0, 255);
imagestring($image, 5, 20, 80, 'Hey, your IP address is:' , $color);
imagestring($image, 5, 80, 140, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] , $color);

imagepng($image);

imagedestroy($image);

?>

Oh, sure.
Give me your layout and the fonts you want to use... I think I can code the script

I just need a template; the place where the variables are going to be printed should be obviously blank...

The top (where it says "Php University") one is Grafik Text, the handwriting cursive one is AdineKinberg-Script, and the other is Blackletter686 BT.

They are all free fonts AFAIK so you should be able to download them.
