Text Shadow's using PHP's GD?

Dave · December 13, 2009

Hey,

I'm making a new script with PHP and I was searching around on the internet for GD and Drop shadow (On text). Sadly I've managed not to find anything so i was wondering do any of the users on here know of any way to do this? Or if it's completely un-doable.

Thanks, Dave.

what like this

<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#test {
text-shadow: #FF0000 4px 4px 2px;
}

-->
</style></head>

<body>

<div id="test">lol</div>
</body>

Dunno if this might help, just a result from a quick google search: http://www.codewalkers.com/c/a/Miscellaneous/Adding-Drop-Shadows-with-PHP/

Otherwise, here's how it could be done:

Make a copy of the text but make it completely black (or whatever colour you want the shadow to be), and simply offset the position of the shadow text by 2 or 3 pixels underneath the original text.

text shadow is done in GRAFX

And you can not style stuff with PHP hence the making of CSS

I think some of you need to start reading the topic correctly before posting.

I cant find anything but this little case study that someone has done on Effects with GD: Case study

that has a little bit of code under Drop Shadow, i havent tryed it though.

Hope this helps

Wouldn't it be easier to do it with CSS?
