Hi,
I got this script, its really nice script. Its completetly suitable for my application, because i am designing greeting cards by php GD library.
But I have font size problem with the code taken from you. what exactly happens is that, when i give large amout of text, then it only takes lines according to width and height provided to it and skips other text. I want to have all text by managing font size which is given by the input.
I hope you will definately help me. Any help from you will really be appreciated.

Thanks for the nice script.

Don’t copy the slanted quotes from my last post (Wordpress converted them). Use straight quotes.

“” == 0 in PHP.

Change empty($buffer) to $buffer === “”

Sorry for posting 2 times in a row, but I did some more testing on the bug i mentioned above, and it seems that it don’t render when it render “0″ (zero) alone, but if i write for example: f0 (zero) it renders zero fine or if i write 00 (zero) it also work fine.

Hi again. I think i found a wierd bug. If i try to render a “0″ (zero), it dosn’t show anything. All other letters and numbers render jsut fine. I tried with different fonts and i doubble checked all fonts to have a “0″ (zero) and they all had. Temporaly i use string replace to chane “0″ (zero) to “O”. But it just don’t look as good, and is hard to use for calculations. PLease check this out.

Well, it’s because the error reporting level you have set in your installation of PHP shows notice level warnings. The simple way to fix it is by putting error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); at the top of your script. The better way would be to actually fix the notices, but you’d have to do that by yourself at the moment.
