Im using imagettftext to write some text on my image. I'm on Win XP and using
the plain arial.ttf font that I copied from win dir
my typical line would be
imagettftext($i m, 33, 0, 20, 500, $black, 'arial.ttf', $text);
everything is perfect except the tab "\t" sign
if I set $text = "something\tsom ething" the tab gets displayed but it also
displays some rectangle like "this char is in wrong encoding" or something like
that. Basically I get two chars out of "\t" the tab and that rectangle. Using
"\n" is normal - it just splits my text in 2 lines. But I'm very confused with
this "\t" issue :-( Is there another way to make tabs?
thanks gordan 2 2914

\t is an escape character. So in order to display the '\' you have to
escape the '\' :)
like this :
$text = "something\\tso mething" Im using imagettftext to write some text on my image. everything is perfect except the tab "\t" sign
I guess this function is designed to handle carriage returns but has no
understanding of tabs, so you'll have to add your own logic depending
on what you want to achieve in the final image.
For instance if you're trying to lay out text in columns in the image,
you can split the text on "\t" and draw each part separately starting
at a different offset from the left.

Hi,
since I've upgraded to php 4.3.4 (before I used 4.1.2) I have a problem
with imagettftext():
when executing the line:
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 25, $white, "$script_dir/verdana.ttf", "Test

Using PHP-4.3.11 with GD extension, bundled GD library, and freetype-2.1.9

Sample code below; just change the $font assignment to point to a TTF font

Hi i cant get an image to display on another server though it does on
mine. Here is the code for the page. The problem i think is the
imagettftext function particularly the reference to my font file
"Verdana". If i use a different function to write text it does so no
bother but unfortunately i need this function to work. Here is the
error it outputs followed by the code for the page in question:

Hey folks and folksesses,
I have written some code to get emoticons onto my image based shoutbox but there is quite a large bug, as there is with any code in the early stages, and I need your help to narrow it down for me.
The idea is that the script pulls data from the database - username, colour, font and shout to print ' shout' onto the image. This part of the code all works perfectly. Then it looks through each line at a time to see if...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
