| This is brilliant, exactly what I was looking for. I did mod it slightly as I wanted the watermark through the middle of the image (it's easy to cut the edge off with the watermark on) so I used the following: list($width, $height) = getimagesize($SourceFile); $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height); $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($SourceFile); $left = ($width / 7) ; $top = ($height / 3) ; $bot = ($top * 2) ; imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $width, $height); $black = imagecolorallocatealpha($image_p, 255, 255, 255, 50); $font = 'arial.ttf'; $font_size = 10; imagettftext($image_p, $font_size, 0, $left, $bot, $black, $font, $WaterMarkText); I had a website address to watermark, hence the margin from the left being small. Thanks to everyone who has contributed here, you saved me a lot of headaches. |

| This is great script . I'm working in local host now , where i should upload the font file . If you can make this script with watermark photo instead of font Best regards ---------- Veselin: it should be in the same folder where your PHP script is |

| I know this is a really old thread but does anyone know how i can add a horizontal coloured bar/background behind the overlayed text because some of my images are dark and some light so i need to set a coloured background for he text? thanks -------------- Veselin: you should create a new image for your watermark and then using imagecopymerge() to copy that image over your own images. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopymerge.php |
