Create image with dynamic text using php

In this post we use two functions such as watermark_text() and watermark_image() to generate text and images watermarks on images. Integrate this to your web project upload image system dynamic text and produce flyer image.

$font_path = "GeosansLight.ttf";
$font_bold = "Typo Grotesk Demo.otf";
$font_size = 20;       // in pixcels

$fly_name="Hi, I am ".$_SESSION['name'];
  $looking="Looking for";
  $accom= $_POST['accomodation']. " | " .$_POST['furnished'];
  $location_f = $_POST['location'].", ".$cityname;
  $rent_f = "Rent Rs ".$_POST['rent'];
  $tenant_type_f=$_POST['tenant_type'];

function watermark_image($oldimage_name, $new_image_name){
global $image_path;
list($owidth,$oheight) = getimagesize($oldimage_name);
$width = 200;  
$height = 300; 
$im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
$img_src = imagecreatefromjpeg($oldimage_name);
imagecopyresampled($im, $img_src, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $owidth, $oheight);

$pos_y = $height - $w_height;
imagecopy($im, $watermark, $pos_x, $pos_y, 0, 0, $w_width, $w_height);
imagejpeg($im, $new_image_name, 100);
imagedestroy($im);
return true;

Image formation

$oldimg = "images/flyer_rent.jpg";
$new_name = "uploads/images/flyer_rent_".$_REQUEST[busiid].".jpg";
if(watermark_text($oldimg, $new_name))
$demo_image = $new_name;
echo <img src="'.$demo_image.'" />;
