Font layout with PHP

[Kysmiley]

Is there any way to use PHP for my Font layout. I want to take a sentance and curve it to follow the contour of an object. I know I can do this as an overlay in PSP, but that would add the the size of the page file and also mean possabily another file for the server to load on request. Anyone have any suggestions. I have asked in CSS and there is no <font-arch> comanad or anything like that that I have been able to find

Hi Pat,

Probably the simplest answer is, not really. There are libraries available in PHP for the manipulation of images, but none that I know of that will create a nice-looking image of text that's curved.

If you really need dynamically-made curved text, you'll probably have to look into a flash option. You can check out the PHP ming library and google for 'ming php tutorial', or else google for the Inman Flash Image Replacement or try the home page of Shaun Inman [shauninman.com].
