Some people want to hide their text into image for any reason. As example, to avoid spambot steal their email address, or to generate dynamic images content.
Its simply done with PHP and GD Library. See this simple function:
function imgfromstring($string){
$font = 5;
//dynamic size of image. to fit your text.
$width = ImageFontWidth($font) * strlen($string);
$height = ImageFontHeight($font);
//start creating the image
$gbr = imagecreate ($width,$height);
//set background to white
$bgcolor = imagecolorallocate($gbr, 255, 255, 255);
//set color for text
$txtcolor = imagecolorallocate ($gbr, 0, 0, 0);
//generate the image
imagestring($gbr, $font, 0, 0, $string, $txtcolor);
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
return imagejpeg($gbr);
}
//usage:
$txt = "u...@email.com";
echo imgfromstring($txt);
example output: 
u...@sample.com" border="0" alt="" />
Another sample is using image as the background. Its useful when you need to create waterwark to protect your images.
Sample code:
function toImgWithBG($str){
$bg = "background.jpg";
$font = 5; //Font size
$gbr =imagecreatefromjpeg($bg);
//Calculate string width and height
$pos_x = imagesx($gbr) - (ImageFontWidth($font) * strlen($str));
$pos_y = imagesy($gbr) - ImageFontHeight($font);
//set text color
$teks = imagecolorallocate($gbr, 255, 0, 0);
//generate the image, and put on the right bottom
imagestring($gbr, 5, $pos_x, $pos_y, $str, $teks);
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
return imagejpeg($gbr);
}
//Usage:
echo toImgWithBG("copyright: http://www.akemapa.com/");
example output:
