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.
