[Wolves] GD add text to picture

[Wayne]

Hi,

Why isn't this working (well it creates image but no text!)

$origImage from elsewhere..... then


/* black for the text */
$black = imagecolorallocate($origImage, 0, 0, 0);

/* put the text on the image */
imagettftext($origImage, 72, 0, 0, 0, $black, 
"/home/j9accomm/public_html/j9photobooth/arial.ttf", "Hello World");

/* save the image */

imagejpeg($origImage,'uploads/thumbs/'."result.jpg");



i've tried all manner of font paths etc in the font bit to no avail.


cheers
