It's always nice to have a play around with GD from time-to-time, isn't? Just a note to anybody who's using your code. You have to drag the arial.ttf font from your fonts folder to your web-root (or just link to the font file in the font folder). Also ensure that your $_GET variable text is set. Finally, ensure the background image is a PNG. You're then good to go!

Thanks for sharing! Maybe the next thing you can do is detect what file type the background is, such as JPG, GIF, et cetera...
