Draw a string horizontally (PHP 4, PHP 5)

bool imagestring ( resource image, int font, int x, int y, string string, int color )

<?php
// create a 100*30 image
$im = imagecreate(100, 30);

// white background and blue text
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 255);

// write the string at the top left
imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, "Hello world!", $textcolor);

// output the image
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
?>

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
$image = ImageCreateFromPNG("base.png");
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
$colorShadow = imagecolorallocate($image, 0x66, 0x66, 0x66);
$font = 'arial.ttf';
$fontSize = "10";
$fontRotation = "0";
$str = "Example of GD in PHP.    Date: " . date("m-j-Y  g:i:s (a)");
 
/* Shadow */
ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 7, 22, $colorShadow, $font, $str);
 
/* Top Level */
ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 5, 20, $color, $font, $str);
 
header("Content-Type: image/PNG");
ImagePng ($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>
<?php
$image = ImageCreateFromPNG("base.png");
$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
$colorShadow = imagecolorallocate($image, 0x66, 0x66, 0x66);
$font = 'arial.ttf';
$fontSize = "10";
$fontRotation = "0";
$str = "Example of GD in PHP.    Date: " . date("m-j-Y  g:i:s (a)");

/* Shadow */
ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 7, 22, $colorShadow, $font, $str);

/* Top Level */
ImageTTFText($image, $fontSize, $fontRotation, 5, 20, $color, $font, $str);
