You know when you write a script and have no idea why it's not working? Well, this usually doesn't happen because the PHP god gave us error messages. If you're doing something like this in which you may not get in error message for many errors you might make it's hard, and sometimes impossible to find out what went wrong. So I want to know if you guys see any reason this script shouldn't work.
Just to explain what I want it to do - The script has an array with a character in every key (Mattmaul1992). There's a foreach loop in which the individual replacement character widths are found and the individual replacement characters source is found. After I have the final string width calculated I create a new string image and merge all the individual character images together into that new string imgae. I then merge the string image onto the background image. Why go through all this trouble? It's the only way to center the string to the pixel. Well it will be after a nice long equation.
GD scripts can get confusing and most people aren't familiar with the library so I can understand if no one can help me out but if you want a challenge here's your chance lol. Thanks.
