Dynamic PHP Banner with your Latest Twitter Post

 //Here we set the font. The file arial.tff is in the home directory. Change accordingly. 

 $font = 'arial.ttf'; 

 
 //This is where we set our background image 

 $handle = imagecreatefrompng("bgimage.png") ; 

 
 //Background Color 

 $bg_color = ImageColorAllocate ($handle, 135, 206, 250); 

 
 //Text Color 

 $txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($handle, 0, 0, 0); 

 
 //This adds @YourName to the banner 

 imagettftext($handle, 20, 0, 100, 25, $txt_color, $font, "@$name"); 

 
 //And this adds your status 

 imagettftext($handle, 8, 0, 105, 45, $txt_color, $font, $status1); 

 
 ImagePng ($handle); 

 ?> 

 $handle = ImageCreate (468, 60) or die ("Cannot Create image"); 

The next two lines are the background color and the text color. Again, you can change these to alter the look of your banner. Finally we print your twitter name and status on the banner or signature file.

Save this file as whatever you want. We'll call ours banner.php. You then call the file just as you would an image, for example:

 <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/banner.php">
