Creating Images with Multiple Text Lines

[Anon]

Hello. I am actually trying to create images with PHP and have it create an image with multiple lines of text into the image itself. I have seen the ability to create ONE line of text, but not multiple lines within the same image. Anyone heard of this? I've tried placing a carriage return (\n) within the sting, but that doesn't work.

Here is some code that creates ONE line of text:

$text='PHP is Cool';

Header("Content-type: image/gif");
if(!isset($s)) $s=11;
$size = imagettfbbox($s,0,"Arial",$text);
$dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
$dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
$xpad=9;
$ypad=9;
$im = imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad);
$blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0x2c,0x6D,0xAF);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad-1,$dy+$ypad-1,$black);
ImageRectangle($im,0,0,$dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad,$white);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+1, $dy+(int)($ypad/2), $black, "Arial", $text);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2), $dy+(int)($ypad/2)-1, $white, "Arial", $text);
ImageJPEG($im);
ImageDestroy($im);

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I guess it depends on where you're getting your text from. If it's a string passed to your script from a form, you can use nl2br(), and wordwrap(). Besides \n, you can also try \r.

Thanks for your suggestion, but that doesn't work. It only uses the first line of text, then trucates the rest.
