imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);

Example #2 Saving a GD2 image
<?php
// Create a blank image and add some text

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
// Save the gd2 image
// The file format for GD2 images is .gd2, see http://www.libgd.org/GdFileFormats

The GD2 format is commonly used to allow fast loading of parts of images. Note that the GD2 format is only usable in GD2-compatible applications.
