image manipulation

[bips2005]

I need to convert a text into a png image so that i can put it over a image.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on where to find good tutorials for it.
I have looked into many but haven't quite found what i am looking for.

I need to convert the text into png image and insert it over an already existing image

I believe you're talking about watermarking images (or something like).

1. Google is your friend
2. The 5th result gives you a decent tutorial

I know two libraries that come as php module packages at least in Debian: gd and imagemagick. I've always worked with gd because my first hosting only allowed it, it's cool. imagemagick seems to have more features...

If you search in google : php gd text, the firest results page will be enough.

Php online doc it's very good, there are many examples, the fourth link "http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/gd_library_2.ht m" gives you a full example
