That does not have anything to do with PHP.

Just use the proper CSS properties

http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-text-20010517/#PrimaryTextAdvanceDirection

EDIT: sorry, I thought this was cross-browser, but it looks like it only works in IE You can use -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg); or -moz-transform: rotate(-90deg); for cross-browser compatibility.

Assuming you want your output to be actual text, and not a graphic, you'll need to use CSS text rotation. Text rotation isn't currently part of the standard (though CSS3 should change that) and is generally supported by way of browser-specific prefixes (-webkit-transform for webkit, -moz-transform for Mozilla browsers) or text filters (IE).

This article provides a good overview on how to use CSS text rotation in a cross-browser way.

CSS:

For FF 3.5 or Safari/Webkit 3.1, check out: -moz-transform (and -webkit-transform). IE has a Matrix filter(v5.5+).

.rot-neg-90 {
  /* rotate -90 deg, not sure if a negative number is supported so I used 270 */
  -moz-transform: rotate(270deg);
  -moz-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(270deg);
  -webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  /* IE support too convoluted for the time I've got on my hands... */
}

PHP: (Since OP had tagged PHP)

If you meant vertical text on an image however, try:

header ("Content-type: image/png"); 

// imagecreate (x width, y width)
$img_handle = @imagecreatetruecolor (15, 220) or die ("Cannot Create image"); 

// ImageColorAllocate (image, red, green, blue)
$back_color = ImageColorAllocate ($img_handle, 0, 0, 0); 
$txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($img_handle, 255, 255, 255); 
ImageStringUp ($img_handle, 2, 1, 215, $_GET['text'], $txt_color); 
ImagePng ($img_handle); 
ImageDestroy($img_handle);
