You can use stil/gd-text class. Disclaimer: I am the author.

setFontSize(20);
$textbox->setFontFace('verdana.ttf');
$textbox->setFontColor(new Color(0, 0, 0)); // black
$textbox->setTextShadow(
    new Color(0, 0, 0, 80), // black color, but 60% transparent
    0,
    -1 // shadow shifted 1px to top
);
$textbox->setBox(
    0,  // distance from left edge
    0,  // distance from top edge
    imagesx($im), // textbox width, equal to image width
    imagesy($im)  // textbox height, equal to image height
);

// now we have to align the text horizontally and vertically inside the textbox
// the texbox covers whole image, so text will be centered relatively to it
$textbox->setTextAlign('center', 'center');
// it accepts multiline text
$textbox->draw($text);

$uploads_dir = 'uploaded_files/';
//image file name
//$name ="$fbid.png";
$name = $uploads_dir.$fbid.".png"; //this saves the image inside uploaded_files folder
imagepng($im, $name, 9);
imagedestroy($im);
