GD TTF PCDTR in PHP 2
find more posts in: internet, php, ubuntuI’d been having a lot of trouble getting my Ubuntu machine to render TTFs with GD in PHP. So much trouble that I’d even tried crazy things like recompiling PHP. Luckily I found this post on excitris.com and I was able to solve all of my problems with one line of code. Since the code on their site is completely mangled, here it is:
putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . realpath('.'));
Now I can use dynamic text replacement without going insane.
