GDLib Alignment Help

[freaksville]

Hi,

 

I have created a countdown to Christmas image. Which you can see here: http://count.superscribble.com/christmas/large.php

 

I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the text that GDLib adds to be aligned center?

 

Here is the current code if that helps:

 

<?php

$keyMonth = 12;
$keyDay = 25;
$keyYear = 2009;

$month = date(F);
$mon = date(n);
$day = date(j);
$year = date(Y);
$hours_left = (mktime(0,0,0,$keyMonth,$keyDay,$keyYear) - time())/3600;
$daysLeft = ceil($hours_left/24);
$z = (string)$daysLeft;

function LoadPNG($imgname)
{
    /* Attempt to open */
    $im = @imagecreatefrompng($imgname);

    /* See if it failed */
    if(!$im)
    {
        /* Create a blank image */
        $im  = imagecreatetruecolor(150, 30);
        $bgc = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
        $tc  = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

        /* Output an error message */
        imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'Error loading ' . $imgname, $tc);
    }

    return $im;
}

// Setup an image
$im = LoadPNG('bg.png');

// Create some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$red_dark = imagecolorallocate($im, 122, 0, 0);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

// Apply the overlay alpha blending flag
imagelayereffect($im, IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY);

// The text to draw


// Replace path by your own font path
$font = 'font.ttf';

// Draw two grey ellipses
imagettftext($im, 43, 0, 113, 133, $red_dark, $font, $z);
imagettftext($im, 43, 0, 113, 132, $white, $font, $z);

// Output
header('Content-type: image/png');

imagealphablending($im, true); // setting alpha blending on
imagesavealpha($im, true); // save alphablending setting (important)


imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

 

Thanks in Advance.
