For alignment i used this method:
if($align == "center" || $align == "right")
{
$verticaltxtspace = $backwidth - (2 * $posx);
$spacepositions = imagettfbbox($size, $angle, "fonts/verdanaz.ttf", " ");
$spacepx = $spacepositions[4] - $spacepositions[0];
// Split text in lines
$lines = split("[\r][\n]", $text);
for($count = 0; $count < count($lines); $count++)
{
$textpositions = imagettfbbox($size, $angle, "fonts/verdanaz.ttf", $lines[$count]);
$textpx = $textpositions[2] - $textpositions[0];
if($align == "right")
{
$spaces = ($verticaltxtspace - $textpx) / $spacepx;
}
else if($align == "center")
{
$spaces = (($verticaltxtspace - $textpx)/2) / $spacepx;
}
// Add spaces
$line = $lines[$count];
for($i = 0; $i < $spaces; $i++)
{
$line = " " . $line;
}
$lines[$count] = $line;
}
// Create new text of lines
$text = "";
for($count = 0; $count < count($lines); $count++)
{
$text .= $lines[$count] . "\r\n";
}
}
// Draw the shadow text on de shadow
imagettftext($background, $size, $angle, $posx, $posy, $textcolor, "fonts/verdanaz.ttf", $text);
