I have this code to put a text on an image

<?php

header ("Content-type: image/png");

$string = "test";

// try changing this as well

$font = 4;

$width = imagefontwidth($font) * strlen($string) ;

$height = imagefontheight($font) ;

$im = imagecreatefrompng("test.png");

$x = imagesx($im) - $width ;

$y = imagesy($im) - $height;

$backgroundColor = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);

$textColor = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0,0);

imagestring ($im, $font, $x, $y, $string, $textColor);

imagepng($im);

?>

but it shows me these weird symbols all over the page
what could be the problem?

Hi,

The code looks perfect. Usually garbled values are shown if the content type is not right

i double checked everything
the file path, the text, the codes...

but everytime i test it out
it shows me all this weird symbols all over the page

header("content-type: image/png")

[chad]

are you trying to say its case sensitive?

[t3tris]

no, no. I messed up. I'm sorry, I didn't see that you had the header already. I just ran it though, and it shows the image on my server. I'm not sure...

yeah i got it working already...
it has messed up with the headers.

i didnt see there was an include file that has another header content type
