The Note You're Voting On

Creates a box of text. Has horizontal and vertical alignment, box arguments, and custom leading. I submitted this to the manual in 2003 actually, but it disappeared after a year or so (not sure why). Here it is again.

<?php
define("ALIGN_LEFT", "left");
define("ALIGN_CENTER", "center");
define("ALIGN_RIGHT", "right");
define("VALIGN_TOP", "top");
define("VALIGN_MIDDLE", "middle");
define("VALIGN_BOTTOM", "bottom");

function imagestringbox(&$image, $font, $left, $top, $right, $bottom, $align, $valign, $leading, $text, $color)
{
   // Get size of box
   $height = $bottom - $top;
   $width = $right - $left;
  
   // Break the text into lines, and into an array
   $lines = wordwrap($text, floor($width / imagefontwidth($font)), "\n", true);
   $lines = explode("\n", $lines);
  
   // Other important numbers
   $line_height = imagefontheight($font) + $leading;
   $line_count = floor($height / $line_height);
   $line_count = ($line_count > count($lines)) ? (count($lines)) : ($line_count);
  
   // Loop through lines
   for ($i = 0; $i < $line_count; $i++)
   {
       // Vertical Align
       switch($valign)
       {
           case VALIGN_TOP: // Top
               $y = $top + ($i * $line_height);
               break;
           case VALIGN_MIDDLE: // Middle
               $y = $top + (($height - ($line_count * $line_height)) / 2) + ($i * $line_height);
               break;
           case VALIGN_BOTTOM: // Bottom
               $y = ($top + $height) - ($line_count * $line_height) + ($i * $line_height);
               break;
           default:
               return false;
       }
      
       // Horizontal Align
       $line_width = strlen($lines[$i]) * imagefontwidth($font);
       switch($align)
       {
           case ALIGN_LEFT: // Left
               $x = $left;
               break;
           case ALIGN_CENTER: // Center
               $x = $left + (($width - $line_width) / 2);
               break;
           case ALIGN_RIGHT: // Right
               $x = $left + ($width - $line_width);
               break;
           default:
               return false;
       }
      
       // Draw
       imagestring($image, $font, $x, $y, $lines[$i], $color);
   }
  
   return true;
