Are there any recommended libraries or resources for aligning text on images in PHP?

When aligning text on images in PHP, one recommended library is the GD library, which provides functions for image manipulation. With GD, you can easily add text to images and align it as needed. 

// Create a blank image
$image = imagecreate(200, 100);

// Set the background color
$bgColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

// Set the text color
$textColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);

// Set the text to be added
$text = "Hello World";

// Set the font size
$fontSize = 12;

// Set the alignment (example: center)
$textWidth = imagefontwidth($fontSize) * strlen($text);
$textX = (imagesx($image) - $textWidth) / 2;
$textY = (imagesy($image) - imagefontheight($fontSize)) / 2;

// Add the text to the image
imagestring($image, $fontSize, $textX, $textY, $text, $textColor);

// Output the image
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($image);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
