How can text be replaced with an image in PHP?

To replace text with an image in PHP, you can use the GD library to create an image with the desired text, and then output that image to the browser. This can be useful for dynamically generating images with text, such as creating a custom image with a user's name on it. 

<?php
// Set the content type header to image/png
header('Content-Type: image/png');

// Create a blank image with specified width and height
$image = imagecreate(200, 50);

// Set the background color of the image
$bgColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

// Set the text color
$textColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);

// Add text to the image
$text = "Hello, World!";
imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 10, 30, $textColor, 'arial.ttf', $text);

// Output the image to the browser
imagepng($image);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
?>
