Script to add a text typed by a user on a picture

[Lud]

I'm looking for a script which allows the user to type a text which is then added to a picture, something like it is possible in the imagechef site:

Speaking as a Flash guy...

You could do that easily in Flash with the right fonts/designs and a dynamic text field.

That's a JSP page (Java Server Page), which is similar to PHP. I have no real information on doing this with JSP, though it is clearly possible, from that example.

With PHP, the GD library is designed to allow image manipulation.

You could pick a font, then use the imagetext() function to choose where, what size, and what the text would say (based on user input).

This stuff can get quite complex, though. It isn't necessarily hard, but just a lot to figure out, since the documentation on some of the functions isn't too clear.
