If your PHP install has the FreeType2 font library then you can use this function to draw text:

CODE

imagettftext($image,$size,$angle,$x, $y, $textcolor, $font_file_name, $text_string);

CODE

<?php
require("../db.php");
header("Content-type: image/png");
$Opdracht = "SELECT * from news ORDER BY (date) DESC LIMIT 1";
$Verbinding = mysql_connect($secret,$secret,$secret);
$Resultaat = mysql_db_query($db,$Opdracht,$Verbinding);
while ($Rij = mysql_fetch_array($Resultaat)) {

$string = "Latest news: $Rij[title]";
$im = imagecreatefrompng("../pictures/newsbanner.png");
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

imagettftext($im, 50, 0, 20, 50, $white, 'coolfont.ttf'', $string);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}
?>

Or, if you have the PostScript T1 lib you can use:

CODE

$font = imagepsloadfont($filename);//.pfb
imagepstext($im, $string_text, $font, $text_size,$color, $bg_color,$x,$y);imagepsfreefont($font);

To set the font.
//Note: The $bg_color is not drawn, it is simply for anti-aliasing the text to match that color. So, you would use a blue or black color for $bg_color.

For example:

CODE

<?php
require("../db.php");
header("Content-type: image/png");
$Opdracht = "SELECT * from news ORDER BY (date) DESC LIMIT 1";
$Verbinding = mysql_connect($secret,$secret,$secret);
$Resultaat = mysql_db_query($db,$Opdracht,$Verbinding);
while ($Rij = mysql_fetch_array($Resultaat)) {

$string = "Latest news: $Rij[title]";
$im = imagecreatefrompng("../pictures/newsbanner.png");
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,255, 255);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_size=15;
$x=10;
$y=10;

$font = imagepsloadfont($filename);//.pfb
imagepstext($im, $string, $font,$text_size,$white, $black,$x,$y);
imagepsfreefont($font);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

}
?>

Fo' Shizzle!!
