I hope this bit of knowledge can help .. who have experienced the same problem as me.. laugh

I change my snippet to be :

<?php
$image = imagecreate (150, 20);
$background = ImageColorAllocate ($image, 00, 00, 00);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($image, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($image, 8, 0, 0, 15, $white, "assets/files/arial.ttf", "Straight");
ImagePNG($image,"image.png");
ImageDestroy($image);

$output = '<img src="image.png" border=0>';

return $output;
?>
