How do you (or is there a script available) that will show what the customer types over an image? Specifically for personalized items, if I want to buy a t-shirt and enter "mud" on the front, then the image preview shows a picture with the word "Mud" on it. If this isn't making sense, here is a link to a site that did it. I noticed they were using some Dynamic Drive scripts in there, but not sure that this feature is one of them.

It looks like this website is using image GD, and ajax. They're using ajax to get the data from the image(thats created by GD - php), check out PHP Image GD: http://us2.php.net/gd or here: http://phpdig.net/ref/rn25.html

Thank you very much for responding. That doesn't look easy but at least I know where to start. :)

If you need help with this script, just tell me, most of the settings for this script are in render.php, the first few lines.

Hi,

I tried using the links, but they're returning a 404 error now. I know the post is a couple of years old, but is there any way I can get to the files at all?

I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,

PP

Oh! I'm sorry, I was looking around and realized that I never got back to you. I'm assuming you subscribed to the thread so you should get like an email notification. Do you still need this script (http://unlinkthis.net/examples/WORKING/picPreview.php) ?

Hi,

I am trying to make a signature generator script to allow users to input text which then displays on an image, this looks like it can do everything I need.

Cheeky I know but any chance I can get a copy of this script, I am very new to php and have tried and failed to make my own.

Many thanks in advance

Jay
