The best way to format text using GD library

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

What is the best way to take HTML formatted text and overlay it on a image (presumably using php's GD functions)? Unfortunately, HTML tags are ignored and any kind of code is treated as plaintext by imagefttext(). However, I need this HTML DIV box pasted onto an image and I intend to get it done.

 

To make things slightly worst, this is a dynamic, PHP generated DIV box. I had an idea of utilizing some kind of buffering to generate my DIV box, convert that DIV box to an image and finally paste it onto my image using the GD library. If that sounds like a reasonable idea, can someone please help me get started?

 

Thanks in advance, guys!
