PHP - Placing A Text Over On Image

I believe the solution the my problem should be simple I feel that it's staring me right in the face. I have a Cron Job that sends an email message to users who's bill "due date" falls on the current date. I want to make the email more personalized and say:   Dear John Doe:   You have the following bills due today:   Rent Cable Internet   Please login to pay your bills   Thanks,.   Here's my following PHP code

<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
 
// OPEN DATA BASE
define("HOSTNAME","localhost");
define("USERNAME","");
define("PASSWORD","");
define("DATABASE","");
 
mysql_connect(HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD) or die("Connetion to database failed!");
mysql_select_db(DATABASE); 
 
joinDateFilter();
 
// BILL QUERY
function joinDateFilter(){
     $query = mysql_query("SELECT bills.billname, bills.duedate, bills.firstname, bills.email, bills.paid FROM bills JOIN users ON bills.userid=users.userid WHERE DATE(bills.duedate) = CURDATE() AND bills.PAID != 'YES'");
     $mail_to = "";
     while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
      echo $row['firstname']." - ".$row['email']."\n";
  $mail_to = $row['email'].", ";
     }
     if (!empty($mail_to)){
      sendEmail($mail_to);
     }
}
 
// SEND EMAIL
function sendEmail($mail_to) {
$from    = "MyEmail@myemail.com";
$message = "Dear " . $row['firstname'].", <br><br>"
 
."You have the following bills due today.<br><br>"
.$row['billname']. "<br><br>"
."Please login to pay your bills";
 
$headers = 'From: '.$from."\r\n" .
'Reply-To:'.$_POST['email']."\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n".
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($mail_to, "Today is your due date", $message, $headers);
}
?>

Hi There,

I would like to place the last for month names into an variable- for example:

February 2011
January 2011
December 2010
November 2010

But I would like them to all have the same variable ($date) - so when I use it in a mssql_fetch_assoc - it increments with every instance of $date, as there will be one instance of $date for every row returned, getting older with every row.

Hope that is enough info?

Cheers
Matt

Hi There,

I want to be able to populate 2 variables,

$previousmon and $previousfri

with 2 dates, being the previous Monday and the previous Friday to the week you are on. So for example, if it is Monday 31st Jan, then $previousfri would be 28/01/2011 and $previousmon would be 24/01/2011.

Is this easy enough to do?

Cheers
Matt

This code is creating broken image.please check it

my code
Code: [Select]
<?php
// Set the content-type
header('Content-Type: image/png');
// Create the image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($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($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);

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

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

I want a div at the bottom of another div, and I want it centered, just using css not javascript.

HTML
<div id="parent">
      <div id="bottom_element">test</div>
</div>


CSS
#parent {height:100% width:100%}
#bottom_element {position:absolute; bottom:5px; width:200px; margin:0 auto}

So the issue is that position absolute and margin auto do not seem to work together. What is an alternative without javasript?

Basically i have a folder with 100+ images they are NOT all the same extension, what im wanting to do is use PHP to find all the images and put them all in a database. how would i go about doing this?

thanks

is there anway way of being able to paste a picture into a textarea?

hi, i would like to no how people do this

http://runelink.org/site/sc.php?server=TestScapez

its an image with the name and votes of a server in a mysql database how would i do this?

Hello guys.
Well I've ran into a sorta crossroad here with this script.
See I'm trying to create like a click to make point system on an image.
I have it all working except 1 problem..

At the moment the text to image script is only adding 1 bit of text onto the image, that is fine, that is because this is the only one in the php file:

Code: [Select]
Imagettftext($im, 12, 0, $X, $Y, $black, 'verdana.ttf', "$text");

But, what I am trying to do is to let the user create more points.
I thought I could achieve this by a database and just echoing out all of the rows from point txt which are like the above.
So it will be like

Imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 342, 455 $black, 'verdana.ttf', "$text");
Imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 443, 953, $black, 'verdana.ttf', "$text");
Imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 553, 445, $black, 'verdana.ttf', "$text");

And every time a user adds another point another one of the above is added to the database, it is then read by the TXT file, and displayed onto the image.

Although I only have this running at the moment:

Code: [Select]
<?php echo $row['pointtxt']; ?><br>

And for a test I just tried a simple echo command, and this is the only record or row in the database in the field pointtxt:

Code: [Select]
echo "hello";

As you can image, I don't think an echo can echo PHP commands, sorry this is really hard to explain, if anyone needs further explaining tho I will try.

Its basically I just want a user to add one of these into the database

Imagettftext($im, 12, 0, 553, 445, $black, 'verdana.ttf', "$text");

And on the image, it will grab all of those from the database, and run them so they all appear on the image.
Thanks for your help.

Is there any option to put text into this boxes where are red lines ?

Okay I don't think I made myself clear last time.
If this is too much hassle I will pay a small fee.
But what I'm looking for is to be able to have a picture generated from my variables.

I need 2 text inputs which put out the two lines shown.
also need the background to gather from file directory.
Also the biggest help i need is the text to be centered, since i keep messing that up
PNG format = preferable.
EXAMPLE -


Thanks again.

is this possible to get the text in an image?

Hi

I have a database with all my game collection on and have the code to display it on a webpage, my problem is in one field called Media, i have the text 'Physical' in it and i would like to change this within PHP to an image of a floppy disk when it displays on the webpage.

Can this be done.

I have done something similar with and if statement to display a 'tick' instead of a 1.

 

IF
	( owned = 1, '✔', 'X' ) AS owned,
	IF
		( completed = 1, '✔', ' ' ) AS completed

i would like to do this as above rather than adding it to the MySQL database - the floppy image is on my computer in a folder called Images.

For starters. I'm relatively new to PHP programming. I've had minor VB and I have SOME understanding of programming in general. I was trying to find this solution myself without consulting anyone but with PHP5 and it's deprecated functions. I can't just paste code from the net and it work. Currently I have PHP 5.3.5 installed. I'm running on the newest Apache and MySQL builds.

Now to the part I want to get to work. I'm trying this just because I can. Basically. I would like php to scan a certain path and filter out the images. I have a script that does that fine. What I want to do is take the file names, append my host address and turn it into a clickable link. I also have a script that will turn text into URL's. I will paste the snippets I have. I was initially trying to use eregi_replace() but apparently that's been deprecated and I believe I should now use FileInfo() or something like that. Not quite sure what they do but am really wanting to learn. Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
