How to create an image from text?

Hi,
I saw a website that allows you to make an online coupon image.
You choose a background image, and enter some text such as
"15% off all Dinner menu items."
Press 'Create' and an online coupon image is made.
**The coupon that was created was an image, including the text that I entered!!**
Does anyone know how this is done?
What do I need to do this on my website?
Any info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
tmi

Don't know for sure how that site does it, but you can do this kind of thing with PHP.

If you are using PHP, this is easy to do. You need to have PHP compiled with the GD library. Take a look at this page:

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

for all the information you need.
