The fastest and most reliable way to create images in PHP is to look at the GD Library . They have a variety of features to help you create your image easily.



If you need a font that is available in a Windows font but not in a PHP font, you can use this tool to convert it: http://www.wedwick.com/wftopf.exe

To take snapshots of the website rather than the suggested ones for creating an image with text in it, you can use

http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/ for snapshots using the IE rendering engine or http://cutycapt.sourceforge.net/ for Webkit snapshots (Safari / Chrome)



I highly recommend the latter.
