Thanks for the post Bob but you didnt answer the correct question.
I have the image overlay with the time and date in a gray box working 
great. Im working on SAVING it now to a file.

The second parameter for the imagepng() is to save to a location.

And I finally got that worked out last night as well. It turns out that 
this is even more finicky with permissions than I had thought.

I had both the folder and file set as wadesmart group wadesmart and that 
didnt work. I changed the folder and file to www-data and that didnt 
work. I changed the folder to www-data and left the file as owner group 
wadesmart and that worked. That through me for a loop - but, I got it 
working.
