$text = 'Проба';
$background_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
//ImageString ($im, 5, 20, 10, $text, $text_color); // tova izobshto ne raboti
//ImageTTFText($im, 20, 0, 30, 35, $text_color, "./arial.ttf", $text); // tova pak neshte - arial-a e UNI ???
