Description

imagestringup(

    string $string,
    int $color
): bool

Draws a string vertically at the given coordinates.

Parameters

image: A GdImage object, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
font: Can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for built-in fonts in latin2 encoding (where higher numbers corresponding to larger fonts) or GdFont instance, returned by imageloadfont().
x: x-coordinate of the bottom left corner.
y: y-coordinate of the bottom left corner.
string: The string to be written.
color: A color identifier created with imagecolorallocate().

Changelog

Version	Description
8.1.0	The `font` parameter now accepts both an GdFont instance and an int; previously only int was accepted.
8.0.0	`image` expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid `gd` resource was expected.
