Gd2 text on an image

[rouble]

Hello,

I want to add some text to an image, centrally both horizontally and vertically, now i was thinking calculating the center point of the image, and then moving the ref. point depending on the size of the text, but this is where i get stuck, how can i work that out?

also, does anyone know what the 5 built - in fonts are?

i nee to use verdana in bold, do i need to reference the font file every time? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

have you tried using http://pear.php.net/image_canvas

you can get the text width and height in pixels

also, http://php.net/imagefontwidth might help -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
