How can one properly include a font file in PHP for use in functions like imagefttext?

To properly include a font file in PHP for use in functions like imagefttext, you need to specify the full path to the font file on your server. This ensures that PHP can locate and use the font file correctly when rendering text on images.

// Specify the full path to the font file on your server
$fontFile = '/path/to/font.ttf';

// Use the $fontFile variable in your imagefttext function
imagettftext($image, $size, $angle, $x, $y, $color, $fontFile, $text);
