    GD Libarary Question

    I've looked up several documents online to try and figure this out. So far
    I've seen that with the GD library I can use a background image and modify
    it by adding text and shapes.

    What I would like to do though is create an image from a background image
    then bring in other smaller images and place them overtop in different
    locations. In essence I want to create an image from 2 or more already
    created images.

    Is that possible?

      Do you need to create a composite image? Can't you do it with just CSS
      positioning? If you need *transparency* then you may need to use .png
      format.

          You should look at the imagecopy() function. From what you said, you
          should be able to use that. I used it before for a client that wanted
          to make one of them smiley face gens.
