I'd like to add some cool extras to my site such as graphic generators. What do you use for them? Like, what code? And possibly, how do you do it?

Example: http://esigs.brightdev.com/

PHP, but be specific what you really want to do...

I'd like to take my team icons and allow my visitors to put whatever text they need for their forum on it. And possibly some other stuff, but this first.

I guess a much simpler way to do this is to actually provide the preview directly not by clicking the link to preview, then on your downloads option just provide the basic button background without the texts, then provide an html code that puts formatted text over the button image....

Yeah, I usually include a blank one, but I think it'd still be cool to have this...

I dont know about php. But asp has image handeling plug-ins that can do what ever u want with a image. Most of the time they are not by microsoft. Normally free for personal use though.

You can to this with ASP.NET (aspx), like I have done here:

You need to ask your ISP what scripting languages you can run on the server.

In that case, as vibins mentioned, you can use the GD library. If the server hosting your site does not have it installed, you can always put it on your personal web space, and use it from there.

See http://us2.php.net/gd for more info on the GD library.

Side note: Although I've not messed with it much, I know that there's a port of sorts to Perl of GD. http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD-2.19/GD.pm
