    <?php
    // create a 100*30 image... Increase this U will get big and big
    $im = imagecreate(100, 30);

    // white background and blue text
    $bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    $textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 255);

    // write the string at the top left
    imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, "Hello world!", $textcolor);

    // output the image
    header("Content-type: image/png");
    imagepng($im);
    ?>

    @ Suraj,
    That won't increase the font-size. It will only increase the image size.

    @ Cinta
    the second parameter in the imagestring() function indicates the font-size.(See the 5 in bold red below)
    
    imagestring($im, [B][COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR][/B], 0, 0, "Hello world!", $textcolor);
    
    Code (markup):
    I think it the max font size you can get is 7(or may be 8). Even if you enter 15 as font-size, you will get output of max size 7.

    use <font style="font-size:22 em">some text</font> in loop

    And you can increase font size to 200 like this

    Regards
