What function should I use to add text to an image with a specific font in PHP?

To add text to an image with a specific font in PHP, you can use the `imagettftext()` function. This function allows you to specify the font file, size, angle, coordinates, and color of the text to be added to the image. Make sure to have the TrueType font file (TTF) available on your server for the specific font you want to use. 

// Load the image
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg('image.jpg');

// Set the font file path
$font = 'arial.ttf'; // Specify the path to your TrueType font file

// Set the text color
$textColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255); // White color

// Add text to the image
imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 10, 50, $textColor, $font, 'Your text here');

// Output the image
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($image);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($image);
