note 54694 added to function.imagettfbbox

Here is a slight modification to the function posted below that vegard posted that allows for left, right or center alignment within the text boxes. $halign has a default of left. center, and right can also be put in. <?php function printWordWrapped(&$image, $top, $left, $maxWidth, $font, $color, $text, $textSize, $halign="left") { $words = explode(' ', strip_tags($text)); // split the text into an array of single words $line = ''; while (count($words) > 0) { $dimensions = imagettfbbox($textSize, 0, $font, $line.' '.$words[0]); $lineWidth = $dimensions[2] - $dimensions[0]; // get the length of this line, if the word is to be included if ($lineWidth > $maxWidth) { // if this makes the text wider that anticipated $lines[] = $line; // add the line to the others $line = ''; // empty it (the word will be added outside the loop) } $line .= ' '.$words[0]; // add the word to the current sentence $words = array_slice($words, 1); // remove the word from the array } if ($line != '') { $lines[] = $line; } // add the last line to the others, if it isn't empty $lineHeight = $dimensions[1] - $dimensions[7]; // the height of a single line $height = count($lines) * $lineHeight; // the height of all the lines total // do the actual printing $i = 0; //print_R($widths); foreach ($lines as $line) { if($halign=="center") { //figure out width of line $dimensions = imagettfbbox($textSize, 0, $font, $line); $lineWidth = $dimensions[2] - $dimensions[0]; //figure out where the center is. $center=floor($maxWidth/2 + $left); $leftStart=$center-$lineWidth/2; } else if ($halign=="right") { //figure out width of line $dimensions = imagettfbbox($textSize, 0, $font, $line); $lineWidth = $dimensions[2] - $dimensions[0]; $leftStart=$left+$maxWidth-$lineWidth; } else { $leftStart=$left; } imagettftext($image, $textSize, 0, $leftStart, $top + $lineHeight * $i, $color, $font, $line); $i++; } return $height; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettfbbox.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54694 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54694&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54694&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54694&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54694&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54694&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54694&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54694&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
