date

[spinal]

hi,

if i was to put a date code on my page, but over an image how would i do that?

There are several ways you can do that. Think you can do that with javascript maybe. I know for sure you can do it with php. Do you have a webserver with php support?

Put this into the htaccess file

<Files sig.jpg>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Edit and save as sig.jpg

PHP Code:

<?

$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0); //RGB Values
$date = "The Date is $today"; //What is printed
$today = date("m-d-Y"); //Get the Date
$font = 'verdana.ttf'; //Which font
$image = imagecreatefromgif("background.gif"); //the bg image
ImageTTFText ($image, 8, 0, 7, 40, $color, $font, $date);
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

?>

background.gif is the image that that the writing will sit on
Edit the ImageTTF line the first number is font size and the last to are x,y coordinates
The color lineis the color of the text, use RGB values, the RGB value must be in your pallette in background.gif
