imagettftextblur is a drop in replacement for imagettftext with added parameters to add blur, glow and shadow effects to your PHP GD images.
This project offers support for the Composer dependency manager. You can find the imagettftextblur package online on packagist.org.
Either run this command:
composer require andrewgjohnson/imagettftextblur
or add this to the require section of your composer.json file:
"andrewgjohnson/imagettftextblur": "1.*"
To use without Composer add an include to the imagettftextblur.php source file.
include_once 'source/imagettftextblur.php';
// standard method to add text to a GD image
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 0, 0, $color, $font, $string);
// this will work the exact same as the line above
imagettftextblur($im, 20, 0, 0, 0, $color, $font, $string);
// method to add blurred text to a GD image
imagettftextblur($im, 20, 0, 0, 0, $color, $font, $string, 1);
There are other examples included in the GitHub repository and on imagettftextblur.org.
