Simple Create Image with PHP -- PHP Scripts

Here is a simple example of a php script that creates a png image:

<?php
if (!isset($contents) && trim($contents)=="") {
        $contents="Here is the text for my image";
}
if ($create_image=="create"){
        $width=strlen($contents)*10;
        $font_height=5;
        $indent_side=10;
        $indent_down=3;
        $height=(($font_height*2)+($indent_down*2)+4);

$im = @ImageCreate ($width, $height);
        $background_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
        $text_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 233, 14, 91);
        ImageString ($im, $font_height, $indent_side, $indent_down,  "$contents", $text_color);
        header ("Content-type: image/png");
        ImagePng ($im);
        imagedestroy($im);
} else {
        print "<form action="$PHP_SELF" method="post">
                <input type="hidden" name=\"create_image" value="create" />
                <input type="text" name="contents" value="Here is the text for my image" />
                <input type="submit" class="btn" value=" Create image ">
                </form>";
}
?>

And here is the image created in php:

Now let us pass some text to this image and make it say something else.
