I've tried countless combinations and tries, and I've googled it so much I don't even have to delete my porn history.

I'm trying to make it so I can put text over an image, but every time I try, it puts the text beside, below, on top of, or just nowhere near. I need it ON the image, and I don't understand why it isn't working. Here's the images I'm using and my .html code ._. I deleted the tryhard text I had on there because it failed. If someone can help me AND explain how to do it, that'd be amazing.

Thanks.

What if I want to change it later on? Please don't reply unless you're helping in the sense that I ask. Thanks.

I don't believe this is done with PHP. I'm sure it can be done with CSS. Learn positioning images/text with css.

I can't help properly as I'm on my phone.

You can actually have PHP draw text on images using the GD library.

This can also be done with HTML/CSS though.

But that is more of a complex way wouldn't you say? It can easily be done with 3-4 lines of CSS code.

Are you guys going to have a conversation on my thread? xD

Hah, so can anyone please help or explain D:?

Anyways I'll say it again in more detail.

So you're wanting an image, then text over it, correct?

So, you're going to want a container that contains the image you wish to have as the background, then set that as a background using CSS (Lookup background-image) once you've got that, you'll want another element inside that with your text in it. (The reason you'll want another one instead of just putting the text inside the original container is you'll want some padding and/or margins to position the text better.)

Hope that helped, if not just pm me and I'll give you the basic code to do it and you can edit it, but first have a go with it so you learn.

(Done using HTML/CSS for the easiest and quickest way.)

Cool thanks I'll try it until I fall asleep.
