PHP (gdlib): text in images?

[Desova]

is there any way to get better text effects in php that this?
i've tried imagettftext() but i'm getting undefined function errors so i obviously dont have the right libraries on the server (i cant change that as just a bog standard hosting account)

function watermark($filename) {
	$wm1img = imagecreatefrompng("images/wmbl.png");
	$wm2img = imagecreatefrompng("images/wmr.png");
	$wm1size = getimagesize("images/wmbl.png");
	$wm2size = getimagesize("images/wmr.png");
	$screenshot = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
	$screensize = getimagesize($filename);
	$w1 = $wm1size[0];
	$h1 = $wm1size[1];
	$w2 = $wm2size[0];
	$h2 = $wm2size[1];
	$sw = $screensize[0];
	$sh = $screensize[1];
	$dx1 = $sh - $h1 - 10;
	$dy1 = 10;
	$dy2 = $sw - $w2 - 10;
	$dx2 = ($sh - $h2)/2;
	$result = imagecopy($screenshot, $wm1img, $dy1, $dx1, 0, 0, $w1, $h1);
	$result = imagecopy($screenshot, $wm2img, $dy2, $dx2, 0, 0, $w2, $h2);
	imagejpeg($screenshot, $filename);
}

That's a function I made a while ago. It takes an image and puts two watermarks on top of it. You can use just the imagecopy() function to copy one image onto another. The parameters are:
imagecopy(image-to-copy-to, image-to-copy-from, destination-y-point, destination-x-point, source-y-point, source-x-point, source-width, source-height).

Mine says "copy $wm1img starting at point 0,0 (the entire source image) onto $screenshot to point $dx1, $dy1, with $wm1img having a width of $w1 and height $h1".

The only reason I have two imagecopy()'s is because the site I made that for had 2 watermark images, one for the bottom left corner, and one for the right side.
