Question about creating image using GD

[scialom]

Hi all,

I have an image that I try to modify and add text using GD libary.
It works well but because the users will insert the text I don't know what the text will be.

My question is how can I align the text so it will be in the center?
my code is this:

imagettftext($my_img, 80, 0, 181, 100, $text_colour, $font, $text);   

but this will insert it on specific location and not centered

any idea?

thanks!

You can use the [man]imagettfbbox/man function to get the x/y positions of each corner of the text, then do a little arithmetic to decide where in the image you want to specify the x/y in the imagettftext() function.
