So what i want to do is to have my users write something in a text field and whatever they write there goes on the image so it becomes part of the image, and they can save it to their computer.
I'm going to use a field like this
<input type='text' id='Text' name='Text' maxlength="10">
this full example let's you
1.write the text you want
2.add an image
(FileReader,Canvas)needs modern browsers
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<script>
var
maxSize=600, // Max width or height of the image
font='italic small-caps bold 40px/50px arial', // font style
fontColor='white', // font color
textX=50, // text x position
textY=50, // text y position
h=function(e){
var fr=new FileReader();
fr.onload=function(e){
var img=new Image();
img.onload=function(){
var r=maxSize/Math.max(this.width,this.height),
w=Math.round(this.width*r),
h=Math.round(this.height*r),
c=document.createElement("canvas"),cc=c.getContext("2d");
c.width=w;c.height=h;
cc.drawImage(this,0,0,w,h);
cc.font=font;
cc.fillStyle=fontColor;
cc.fillText(document.getElementById('t').value,textX,textY);
this.src=c.toDataURL();
document.body.appendChild(this);
}
img.src=e.target.result;
}
fr.readAsDataURL(e.target.files[0]);
}
window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById('f').addEventListener('change',h,false);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
1.write text
<input type="text" id="t">
2.add image
<input type="file" id="f">
</body>
</html>
You could use <canvas>
and its JavaScript API:
<img>
tag using a data/uri.Okay, so I personally haven't had to use this before, but I know that PHP has some built in functions to perform said task. Here is where you can find it. I hope it helps :)

Okay, so after doing some more thorough research, I find this might be helpful :)
Essentially, here's the form you'd want to use:
<form action="ProcessImage.php" method="post">
<input type="file" name="im"/>
<input type="text" name="msg"/>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
And here's the PHP code you want to use, referred to as ProcessImage.php:
<?php
// Set the content-type
header('Content-Type: image/png');
// Create the image
$im = $_POST['im'];
// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
// The text to draw
$text = $_POST['msg'];
// Replace path by your own font path
$font = 'arial.ttf';
// Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
// Add the text
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
// Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
