How to make an email image

[Floydian]

It's nice to have an image to display an image address instead of putting it on the page as text.

This script will create an image with your email addy in it. There isn't really much to explain except for the usage of this, but first, the script:

 

<?php

function getMyEmail($site) {
$emails = array(
	[email="'[email protected]"]'[email protected][/email]',
	[email="'[email protected]"]'[email protected][/email]',
	[email="'[email protected]"]'[email protected][/email]',
);

if (!isset($emails[$site])) {
	return $emails[0];
} else {
	return $emails[$site];
}
}


header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(200, 30)
   or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 200, 200, 200);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 23, 36, 90);
imagestring($im, 4, 5, 5,  getMyEmail($_GET['e']), $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

 

Save this script as something like email.php. Then make an img tag like so:

 

 

To change the background color, edit this line:

$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 200, 200, 200); // That's an RGB of 200,200,200

To change the text color:

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 23, 36, 90); // RGB of 23,36,90

To change the image size:

$im = @imagecreate(200, 30) // width, height

To change the font

imagestring($im, 4, 5, 5, getMyEmail($_GET['e']), $text_color); // That 4 can be anything from 1 to 5, or higher

// (but can only go higher if you loaded your own fonts, which is beyond the scope of this post.
