Well, I'm trying to make a dynamic image. But I want it just plain text. So, 2 things:

1. How can I make an image with PHP that is only text?
2. Is it possible to use a script located somewhere else on the internet? (I doubt it)

Thanks!

You can use the GD Graphics Library for both.

My server has ImageMagick, does that run off GD?

If your server runs ImageMagick it should be having GD. And IM and GD are different, they both function differently(Although IM works better :))
