Make Image with Text Function Not Working

Question

I'm trying to create some images with text on them. Here is the function I have created:

function makeTitleImage($text){
  $im = imagecreatetruecolor(160,160);
  $background_color = imagecolorallocate($im,154,205,50);
  $text_color = imagecolorallocate($im,255,255,255);
  imagefill($im,0,0,$background_color);
  imagettftext($im,10,0,0,$text_color,"./ASansBlack.ttf",$text);
  header('Content-Type: image/png');
  imagepng($im,($text.'.jpg'));
  imagedestroy($im);
}

This creates a 160x160px image with the background colour but no text, named appropriately (so I know $text is being passed in correctly). The path to the .ttf file is accurate. Not sure what else could be going on? Probably something silly.

Thanks!

Your imagettftext function is missing a parameter, which is the y-coordinate of the text. Try something like

imagettftext($im,10,0,0,10,$text_color,"./ASansBlack.ttf",$text);
