Create your own sticker?

[euphoriastudio]

I'm designing a site for a client and he would like people to be able to create their own stickers. We'd allow the customers to choose from our clip art and a certain sized sticker, but I'd like them to be able to input their own text and see the example instantly. Something similar to this site:

Thanks for the help!

You'll need php for that, GD to be exact. Check out the GD manual ( HERE) for all of the functions and things you can to do generate images. The example you gave is much more advaced, and I think it uses flash. If you only need to insert text into an image, than php is your friend!

Yeah, it uses Flash. Flash is really the way to go with these kinds of application. The coding is far easier and more extensible than an equivalent would be in PHP/JavaScript/AJAX app. It can be done in either, of course.

Thank you both for your posts, I suppose I'll have to learn some flash then. I've worked with the program but so far only created a basic movie to be displayed on the internet. Any ideas as to how to go about creating something from the link at the top?
