For alignment i used this method:
if($align == "center" || $align == "right")
{
$verticaltxtspace = $backwidth - (2 * $posx);
$spacepositions = imagettfbbox($size, $angle, "fonts/verdanaz.ttf", " ");
$spacepx = $spacepositions[4] - $spacepositions[0];
// Split text in lines
$lines = split("[\r][\n]", $text);
for($count = 0; $count < count($lines); $count++)
{
$textpositions = imagettfbbox($size, $angle, "fonts/verdanaz.ttf", $lines[$count]);
$textpx = $textpositions[2] - $textpositions[0];
if($align == "right")
{
$spaces = ($verticaltxtspace - $textpx) / $spacepx;
}
else if($align == "center")
{
$spaces = (($verticaltxtspace - $textpx)/2) / $spacepx;
}
// Add spaces
$line = $lines[$count];
for($i = 0; $i < $spaces; $i++)
{
$line = " " . $line;
}
$lines[$count] = $line;
}
// Create new text of lines
$text = "";
for($count = 0; $count < count($lines); $count++)
{
$text .= $lines[$count] . "\r\n";
}
}
// Draw the shadow text on de shadow
imagettftext($background, $size, $angle, $posx, $posy, $textcolor, "fonts/verdanaz.ttf", $text);
imageftbbox
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5)
imageftbbox — Calcule le rectangle d'encadrement pour un texte, en utilisant la police courante et freetype2
Description
imageftbbox() calcule le rectangle d'encadrement pour le texte text, en utilisant la police courante et freetype2.
Liste de paramètres
- size
-
La taille de la police de caractères. Suivant votre version de GD, elle doit être exprimée en pixel (GD1) ou en point (GD2).
- angle
-
Angle, en degrés, dans lequel le paramètre text sera mesuré.
- fontfile
-
Le nom du fichier de la police TrueType (peut être une URL). Suivant la version de GD utilisée par PHP, il sera recherché les fichiers qui ne commencent pas par un '/', en y ajoutant l'extension '.ttf', et suivant le chemin des polices défini par la bibliothèque.
- text
-
La chaîne à mesurer.
- extrainfo
-
Index possibles pour le tableau extrainfo Clé Type Signification linespacing float Représente l'espacement entre les lignes lors du dessin
Valeurs de retour
imageftbbox() retourne un tableau contenant 8 éléments représentant les 4 points du rectangle entourant le texte :
| 0 | Coin en bas, à gauche, position en X |
| 1 | Coin en bas, à gauche, position en Y |
| 2 | Coin en bas, à droite, position en X |
| 3 | Coin en bas, à droite, position en Y |
| 4 | Coin en haut, à droite, position en X |
| 5 | Coin en haut, à droite, position en Y |
| 6 | Coin en haut, à gauche, position en X |
| 7 | Coin en haut, à gauche, position en Y |
Les points sont relatifs au texte suivant le paramètre angle, aussi, "en haut à gauche" signifie le coin en haut à gauche lorsque l'on regarde le texte horizontalement.
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec imageftbbox()
<?php
// Création d'une image de 300x150 pixels
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(300, 150);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
// Définit l'arrière-plan en blanc
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 299, 299, $white);
// Chemin vers notre fichier de police
$font = './arial.ttf';
// D'abord, nous créons un rectangle contenant notre texte
$bbox = imageftbbox(10, 0, $font, 'The PHP Documentation Group');
// Nos coordonnées en X et en Y
$x = $bbox[0] + (imagesx($im) / 2) - ($bbox[4] / 2) - 5;
$y = $bbox[1] + (imagesy($im) / 2) - ($bbox[5] / 2) - 5;
imagefttext($im, 10, 0, $x, $y, $black, $font, 'The PHP Documentation Group');
// Affichage vers le navigateur
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Notes
Note: Cette fonction requiert la bibliothèque GD 2.0.1 ou supérieure (2.0.28 ou supérieure est recommandée).
Note: Cette fonction n'est disponible que si si PHP est compilé avec le support Freetype (--with-freetype-dir=DIR )

ah... the problem between imageftbbox() and imagefttext() lies in the mirroring of the y-axes.
Below you see, for a font-size 16 the boudingboxes of "b", "p" and "bp":
< b: w=9 h=15
b(0,-1)
b(9,-1)
b(9,-16)
b(0,-16)
< p: w=9 h=16
p(0,4)
p(9,4)
p(9,-12)
p(0,-12)
< bp: w=20 h=20
bp(0,4)
bp(20,4)
bp(20,-16)
bp(0,-16)
If drawing "bp" using imagefttext() at y=0, the the top of "bp" indeed is at y=-16, and the bottom of "bp" at y=4. (Plus or minus a pixel here and there, because at y=0 there actually is a vissible pixel.)
IF we accept the idea that a bouding box is returned then:
$bbox= imageftbbox ( $size, $angle, $font, $txt);
$width = abs($bbox[4] - $bbox[0]);
$height = abs($bbox[1] - $bbox[5]);
may be a better kind of math. But it depends... You may want to subtract yet another '1' from both the width and the height.
But try drawing a "p" and next try a "d". Their bounding boxes differ 1 px in height. Of course the respective boxes, by imagefttext(), are placed at a different y coordinate. I noticed that if a "p" or a "b" is drawn at (0, 30) the first character of the string actually starts on, fills, the third horizontal pixel. Also: if your image is only 30 pixels in heigth, drawing text at (0, 30) means that the bottoms parts of "p", "q", "y" and alike are somewhere else...
imagettfbbox() returns an array with 8 elements representing four points making the bounding box of the text:
0 lower left corner, X position
1 lower left corner, Y position
2 lower right corner, X position
3 lower right corner, Y position
4 upper right corner, X position
5 upper right corner, Y position
6 upper left corner, X position
7 upper left corner, Y position
The points are relative to the text regardless of the angle, so "upper left" means in the top left-hand corner seeing the text horizontally.
ImageFTBBox returns a bounding box, not metrics, as some (most?) of the notes above seem to assume. The 8 values it returns specify the 4 corners of this bounding box. So to properly determine the width and height of a string you need to do:
$bbox = ImageFTBBox(...);
$width = abs($bbox[0]) + abs($bbox[2]); // distance from left to right
$height = abs($bbox[1]) + abs($bbox[5]); // distance from top to bottom
Here is a handy example I used to center "dynamic text" onto an image.
Ex. Say you want to center a clients IP Address onto a picture.
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$details = imageftbbox($fontsize, 0, $font, $ip, array("linespacing" => 1));
$xcoord = ($imgwidth - $details[4]) / 2; // this will return the x coordinate centered to your specific image. Make sure you set $imgwidth to the width of the image you are using.
imagettftext($image, $fontsize, 0, $xcoord, $ycoord, $fontcolor, $font, $ip);
I noticed that PHP's True Type functions do not allow you to create text blocks with multiple lines that automatically adjust for alignment. I wrote a function that will allow you to generate images with multiple lines, control the alignment, and handle rotation. I hope it helps someone.
There was too much code to paste on this message post so you can grab it off of my webserver. I also created an example page so that you can see the code in action.

i've found a work around for this situation
it seems that height is directly proportional to line spacing so you just have to apply the same factor to image height
for example :
$spacing = 0.7;
$params = array("linespacing" => $spacing);
$box = imageftbbox ($size, 0, $font, $text, $params);
$tw=$box[4]-$box[0]; //image width
$th=($box[1]-$box[5])*$spacing; //image height
This function can be used to generate right-aligned text. Just work out how wide the text image is and position it accordingly. Example:
$i_width = 200;
$i_height = 40;
$string = "Hello World!";
$pointsize = 10;
$fontfile = "/usr/local/lib/ttf/Helve.ttf";
$im = imagecreate($i_width, $i_height);
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$string_size = ImageFtBbox($pointsize, 0, $fontfile, $string, array("linespacing" => 1));
$s_width = $string_size[4];
$s_height = $string_size[5];
ImageFtText($im, $pointsize, 0, $i_width - $s_width - 1, 0 - $s_height, $white, $fontfile, $string, array("linespacing" => 1));
Header ("Content-type: image/png");
ImagePNG ($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);
