create aqua style buttons using php

is it possible to create an image like this one using php with the help of GD/Ima开发者_如何转开发geMagick?

This image was generated by Web Button Maker Delux, which is a .NET App. So i think, may be there is an way for me to generate one using PHP.

So any help on that please?

Thanks, Anjan

I realize that this is an old post, but in the event that someone stumbles on this as I did, I have a solution. I wrote a script for dynamically creating web buttons. The script does essentially what Alec described, but is highly configurable and has more features. I have used this script for a few years now and it works awesome. It is also easy to change the look and feel of the buttons with a change of a few base images and you have a new button look across your entire site with very little effort.

I wrote a small article that breaks down the entire script and how to use it. http://www.phpwebscripting.com/index.php?mact=Articles,cntnt01,details,0&cntnt01documentid=1&cntnt01returnid=69 I hope that people will find this useful. I am releasing it as free software. There is a link to download the script at the bottom of the article.
