Backslash ("\") instead of Text?

[Bonzo]

It must be the way the server is setup or the version of ImageMagick used as it worked OK for me.

I would try:

Code: Select all

exec("convert -size 500x500 old.jpg -thumbnail 150x150 -gravity South -bordercolor black -border 1x1 -background Black -splice 0x15 -fill white -draw \" text 0,0 '150x150 23kb' \" new.jpg");

Sometimes I find that ImageMagick does not like paths etc. and it works better putting paths and text into a variable first;

Code: Select all

$text = "150x150 23kb";
exec("convert -size 500x500 old.jpg -thumbnail 150x150 -gravity South -bordercolor black -border 1x1 -background Black -splice 0x15 -fill white -draw \" text 0,0 '$text' \" new.jpg");
