Write (semi)-transparent/clouded text

[Geolim4]

Just for the sharing:

If you want to write semi-transparent text, instead of passing hexa color to write(), you can pass an imagecolorallocatealpha ressource:

Classic text:

$image->write(
	'myfont.ttf',
	'mytext',
	10,
	290,
	'10',
	'0',
	'666666',
	'left'
);

Transparent text (with custom opacity from 0 to 127):

$opacity = 100; // from 0 to 127
$image->write(
	'myfont.ttf',
	'mytext',
	10,
	290,
	'10',
	'0',
        imagecolorallocatealpha(imagecreatetruecolor(IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT), 0, 0, 0, $opacity),
	'left'
);

See imagecolorallocatealpha()

Hope this will help some people.
