• PHP file where all my codes written

create a php file with any name. In my case I would name mine index.php

<?php 

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

//add font in root directory

$font=realpath('arial.ttf');

//add your image/certificate file

$image=imagecreatefromjpeg("format.jpg");

$color=imagecolorallocate($image, 51, 51, 102);

$date=date('d F, Y');

imagettftext($image, 18, 0, 880, 188, $color,$font, $date);

//Add your desire text

$name="YOUTUBE";

imagettftext($image, 48, 0, 120, 520, $color,$font, $name);

//download

imagejpeg($image);

imagedestroy($image);
