PHP Question

[diabolo]

Is it possible to format a string of text into a picture? I have seen this done with e-mails to prevent spamming, and want to add this addition to my website, without the end user or me having to manual creating a picture to do this. I think it is PHP if it isn't, can somebody let me kno.
Thank you

This would require GD/GD2 wouldn't it?

Does anybody know if this is or can be installed in php?

I'm currently getting an error with some image manipulation and the only thing I can think of is that GD is not installed.

GD is installed..i used it couple weeks back

Can you think why I would get this error message?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatetruecolor() in /home/mwhiz/public_html/members/upload.php on line 285

What version of php are you using?
The php plans might not allow it but im not sure. Im almost positive this doesnt work with gif picture so if you are trying that then that might be an issue. and yea GD2 is required

PHP5 on the server.

And php version 2 as far as permissions go on my x10 account.

And it was jpg not a gif.
