I have an ignorant question.

The end result here is an automatically generated image that contains text*.  I can do this easily in PHP.  However, the web server does not have PHP installed, and the IT person is underinterested in installing it.  Fair enough.

My workstation has PHP installed and happy.  My computer is Windows 7; the server is Windows 2003 Server.

Is it possible for WebComp to have a webpage that points to \\WorkStation\image.png?

I spectacularly doubt it, but I figured I'd ask.

Alternately, how can I make a text-based image in ASP or JS or something?

* It's a list of links, that the boss wants in image form.  Don't ask.

Sure, just install a webserver on your workstation. There are prebuilt packages of apache for windows that work fine out of the box. The link will be http://workstation/image.png.

(That said, I'm sure there are equivalent libraries to do the job in ASP. Just no clue what they're called.)

Consider it an object lesson in why her IT guy should take her requests seriously.

...fair enough, put that way.
