生成文本文件的缩略图

Question

Suppose a user uploads a .txt or .php file, and I want to generate a .png thumbnail for it. Is there a simple way of doing it, that doesn't require me to open the file and write its contents into a new .png? I have ImageMagick and FFmpeg available, there must be a way to take advantage of that, but I've been looking a lot and no luck yet.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You could always use php's imagettftext function.

It would give you a representation of what is in the text file.
