Why doesn't variables work in image strings?

Ajm113

I want to create a image string that retrieves the params of the url to put on the image in php like so:

image.php?user=Ajm113

Then it should print the user on the image string, but for some reason it doesn't work. Is it more then that?

you need to $_GET['user'] to use the string.

Try this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php

$text = $_GET['user'];
 
$im = imagecreate(100, 20);

$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 200, 200, 200);

$fg = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 255);
 
imagestring($im, 3, 5, 3, $text, $fg);
 
header("Content-type: image/png");

imagepng($im);

?>

call the script with something like image.php?user=myusername
