How to write text in multiline(in a paragraph)?


When i use this code,I can make a image out of text,but in a single line,

function writetext($image_path,$imgdestpath,$x,$y,$angle,$text,$font,$fontsize) {
      $image=imagecreatefromjpeg("$image_path");
      $height = imageSY($image);
      $width = imageSX($image);
      $color = imagecolorallocate($image,0,0,0);
      $textwidth = $width;
      imageTTFtext($image,$fontsize,$angle,$x,$y,$color,$font, $text );
      ImageJPEG($image,$imgdestpath);
}

Please tell how to make this image in a multiline paragraph??


Solution

  • For each line you need new imageTTFtext function to be called with new value for $y for example:

    $text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer non nunc lectus.     Curabitur hendrerit bibendum enim dignissim tempus. Suspendisse non ipsum auctor metus consectetur eleifend. Fusce cursus ullamcorper sem nec ultricies. Aliquam erat volutpat. Vivamus massa justo, pharetra et sodales quis, rhoncus in ligula. Integer dolor velit, ultrices in iaculis nec, viverra ut nunc.';
    
    // Break it up into pieces 125 characters long
    $lines = explode('|', wordwrap($text, 115, '|'));
    
    // Starting Y position
    $y = 513;
    
    // Loop through the lines and place them on the image
    foreach ($lines as $line)
    {
    imagettftext($image, $font_size, 0, 50, $y, $font_color, $font, $line);
    
    // Increment Y so the next line is below the previous line
    $y += 23;
    }
