Create E-Mail signatures with PHP
This afternoons mini project “Create E-Mail signatures with PHP” for a client who wants their staff to have custom signatures but which would involve each person having an image created for them or them creating one for themselves.
A quick bit of PHP will sort that!
Upload this PHP script to your webserver along with arial.ttf, times.ttf and image.png of your signature with blank areas for details, a sample can be found here.
A live demo can be found here
To re-arrange the text edit the lines as below where 35 is the size, 0 is the rotation, 285 is the X pos and 50 is the Y pos
imagettftext($image, 35, 0, 285, 50, $name_text_Color, $times_fontPath, $name_text);
To change the colour of the text edit the lines below, where 101 is Red, 135 is Green and 122 is Blue. I use HTML Color Picker to choose my colours
$name_text_Color = imagecolorallocate($image, 101, 135, 122);
