actually only solution is to upgrade PHP engine because 4.3.4 doesn't support gd.

Support for php gd2/image can be enabled in PHP 4.3.4 php.ini
We can very easily write on .png and .jpg/.jpeg images but this can't be done on .gif images; also we can use any font file we have at server. But text can't be written on animated images i.e. gif

See example in php documentation.

When we need image buttons, we can write text on .png single image file.

Hi anshul
if you are using php on the windows, I know you cannot get .gif, I had that problem too.
and if you are using *nix that should work, see the documentation on php.net and you will find out.

Angain if you are using php on windows, i think it's better to change the windows to Unix OR Linux because windows is really piky.

Thanks
