ImageFtBbox() can do this for you.
Here's a portion of my code that uses it. >>
$string="This is some text";
$pointsize = 15;
$fontfile = getcwd()."/arial.ttf";
$string_size = ImageFtBbox($pointsize, 0, $fontfile, $string,
array("linespacing" => 1));
$s_width = $string_size[4];
$s_height = $string_size[5];
$i_width = $s_width+2;
$i_height = -1 * $s_height+2;
$im = imagecreate($i_width,$i_height );
....................
do whatever you want ot do with $im and destroy it finally
