I don't know if there is another function in the GD library, but I tried researching through their documentation. Anyway, seems as if the imagefttext() function doesn't support html, just plain text.
$text = '<strong>Your Price:</strong><br />$'.$promo_data['selling_price'];
@imagefttext($image, 12, 0, 163, 30, $color, '../images/gdprac/LUCIDASANSSTD.OTF', $text);
It just outputs the html tags and doesn't translate it to HTML. Is there any other function that allows HTML or anyway to bypass this using this function?
Thank you!
