I am creating an image dynamically using php. The image is being created if I go in and make the file first. However, if I don’t create the file manually then I get the following error.

Warning: imagegif() [function.imagegif]: Unable to open ‘filename2.png’ for writing in /www/vhosts/yourraceresults.com/htdocs/trial/TextToImage.inc.php on line 144

Example:

public function SaveTextAsPng($fontSize, $x, $y, $textContent, $fileName='image'){
    imagestring($this->image, $fontSize, $x, $y,  $textContent, $this->text_color);
    return imagepng($this->image, "/www/vhosts/yourraceresults.com/htdocs/admin/trial/images/".$fileName.".png");
}

$textToImage->SaveTextAsPng(10, 11,11, ‘fakeinfo’,’filename2′);

    Either the output folder do not exist (in which case you have to create it), or you do not have write permissions to the output folder. To fix this:

    • If you’re using a shell:

      chmod 777 /www/vhosts/yourraceresults.com/htdocs/trial

    • If you’re using an FTP client:

      Right click on the “trial” folder, search for something called “chmod”, “rights”, “permissions” (perhaps in “properties”), then give it every permission or, alternatively, enter chmod value 777.
