<? php
// to define the size of the image
$image = imagecreate(100, 100);
// to define the string we want to display
$string = 'PHP';
// to define the background color of the image
$background-color = imagecolorallocate ( $image, 255, 255, 255 );
// to define the text color of the image
$text-color = imagecolorallocate ( $image, 0, 0, 0 );
// imagecharup function to display a black P on top right corner
Imagecharup ( $image, 1, 0, 0, $string, $text-color );
header ( ' Content - type : image / png ');
imagepng ( $image);  
?>
</body>
