Automatic line breaks: This simple function is able automatically create line breaks if you want to write a text on an image. All you have to specify is a maximum length. function write_multiline_text($image, $font_size, $color, $font, $text, $start_x, $start_y, $max_width) { //split the string //build new string word for word //check everytime you add a word if string still fits //otherwise, remove last word, post current string and start fresh on a new line $words = explode(" ", $text); $string = ""; $tmp_string = ""; for($i = 0; $i < count($words); $i++) { $tmp_string .= $words[$i]." "; //check size of string $dim = imagettfbbox($font_size, 0, $font, $tmp_string); if($dim[4] < $max_width) { $string = $tmp_string; } else { $i--; $tmp_string = ""; imagettftext($image, 11, 0, $start_x, $start_y, $color, $font, $string); $string = ""; $start_y += 22; //change this to adjust line-height. Additionally you could use the information from the "dim" array to automatically figure out how much you have to "move down" } } imagettftext($image, 11, 0, $start_x, $start_y, $color, $font, $string); //"draws" the rest of the string ---- Server IP: 89.31.146.176 Probable Submitter: 78.34.175.233 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettfbbox.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109589 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109589 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109589 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
