Any PHP experts here?

  I have a .txt file that is a list. It looks like this:

  Jay, Cutler
  Ben, Roethlisberger
  Aaron, Rodgers
  Drew, Brees
  etc.

  
  
  Now, I'm trying to have a PHP page that will pull a row of data from the .txt file and display the values separately, AND I need it to rotate down to the next line each time the page loads.
  
  Can this be done?
  
  If so, I'd appreciate it.
  
  Reps to whoever helps me figure it out.

  Do you need it to rotate down when anyone loads the page or just when the same user loads the page?
  
  You have to do this with a text file and not CSV or mySQL?

  <img src="image.php" alt="Your ALT Text" />
  
  
  <?php
  // Defines the content as an PNG image
  header("Content-type: image/png");
  
  // Creates the image - edit those properties in order to change rotation and font types. I have defined two different fonts
  $image = imagecreate(75, 70);
  $degrees = 40;
  $font = 'fonts/Jerry_B4s_handwriting.ttf';
  $font1 = 'fonts/verdana.ttf';
  
  // transparent color
  $transparent_color = imagecolorallocate($image, 000, 0, 0);
  
  // set the transparent color
  imagecolortransparent($image, $transparent_color);
  
  // fill the image with our transparent color
  imagefilledrectangle($image,0,0,119,119,$transparent_color);
  
  //imagecolorallocate($image, R, G, B) in HEX values
  $font_black = imagecolorallocate($image, 2, 1, 8);
  
  //EDIT those strings to output YOUR text
  //outputs day
  $string_day = date("l");
  //outputs month, date
  $string_rest = date("F d");
  //outputs year
  $string_year = date("Y");
  
  
  //($image, fontsize, angle(use a combination of this and the $degrees variable), rightident(x), downindent(y), textcolor, font, data)
  imagettftext($image, 13, -25, 10, 20, $black, $font, $string_day);
  imagettftext($image, 10, -25, 10, 40, $black, $font1, $string_rest);
  imagettftext($image, 9, -20, 10, 60, $black, $font1, $string_year);
  
  $rotate = imagerotate($image, $degrees,0);
  //Preserves transparency
  imagealphablending($rotate, true);
  imagesavealpha($rotate, true);
  
  imagepng($rotate);
  imagedestroy($image);

  PM sent to the user that would handle the answer best.

  I just responded to your last PM. I think I understand what you're trying to do and gave you your solution. Hopefully it's what you were needing.

  Also, lol @ Belly replying.
  
  Somehow, I don't think Belly would ever get through scripting without a syntax error.
