if($number==9)$string2 = "Rodents make the world cool";
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 25);
$bg = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 0, 0, 9, 127);
imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, $string2, $text_color);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);

Move $text_color = .... above imagestring.

wow.........
thanks.....
i wouldnt have thought of that in a million years........

do you know why the transparency of the background isnt working?
i have it like this now

Code:

$bg = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 0, 0, 9, 0);
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 25);

and it says it cant be displayed cause it contains errors

You create a color for $im before you create $im? I don't think you really know PHP but instead copied some script and are trying to fumble around with it.

If it says the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors, then remove the header type so you can see the PHP output plainly.

bleh.............of course i dont know PHP.....i just dabble

actually though.....very little of this code is stolen......
mostly just the thing with $number
i used http://us3.php.net/quickref.php for the majority of it

btw i AM gonna change those stupid sayings as soon as i get this thing working

when i remove the header all it says is this

Code:

‰PNG

ok well i did some more reasearch and i edited the code to make it like this

Code:

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$number = rand(1,9);
if($number==1)$string2 = "all your base r belong 2 us";
if($number==2)$string2 = "somebody set up us the bomb";
if($number==3)$string2 = "Resistance is futile";
if($number==4)$string2 = "R0D3NTS are cute";
if($number==5)$string2 = "H4X0R in thE yur PC1?!";
if($number==6)$string2 = "Dude w3re's my c4r?";
if($number==7)$string2 = "s0m3on3 st0l3 my mega hurtz!!";
if($number==8)$string2 = "move zig for great justice";
if($number==9)$string2 = "Rodents make the world cool";
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 25);
$bg = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 200, 200, 200, 127);
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $bg);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
imagestring($im, 5, 6, 5, $string2, $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

now this is supposed to work but i get this:

Code:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Internet Explorer doesn't support transparent/alpha PNGs. Is that what you're trying to do?
