Very complex.

You will need to use PHP's GD library (or a similar server side image-generation-capable language) to layer the background and the letters, as well as setup a font for those letters, or maybe position image layers [for each letter] over the background.

It's possible, but a big project.

huh explain please also i just want to make it so that when the tags are created they link to my site not to wiitag but please make a tag using that and u will see what i mean

Using their page to create an image then linking to your site would be against their TOS, not something supported on this forum.

However, all you do is change the URL... but making the page generate that or creating some sort of shell page to generate it would be difficult.

I did try making an image, and it is just what I said. You choose parameters, then the data is sent to a PHP [or similar] script to generate the images. The text is a quick afterthought, just echo '<tag stuff="whatever">text';.

This is a place for learning, and you want something hard. Being new is fine-- we all were at some point, but you gotta start small.

I'm really not sure how else to explain this.

The code takes parameters from the form, like the number, and the style.

Then it generates an image from that.

What is unclear?

What I have mentioned, such as the PHP GD library, probably WON'T be clear and it is complex, but it's just the name for something that will generate images.

ok but how would i go about doing it though i would post the html but it won't let me i would pm u but it won't let me

There's no need to post any HTML.

The point is, this IS NOT html.

The image is GENERATED by PHP. The end.

HTML will display the information and create the form that will send info to the PHP script to make the image, but that is all.

oh ok so what should i do then if it doesn't involve html but involves php better yet email me wiiworld@hotmail.com explain there

[djr33]

What?

Is that your site or is that one you want to copy?

I'm very confused.

PHP is used to make the image. HTML is used to display the image and the generating form.

Email is not the best method for this, nor is PM. Post and post clearly, so everyone can participate in learning from this and finding a solution.
