): bool

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.

8.0.0	`image` expects a GdImage instance now; previously, a valid `gd` resource was expected.

imagestringup($im, 3, 40, 80, 'gd library', $textcolor);

// Save the image
imagepng($im, './stringup.png');
imagedestroy($im);
