PHP GD: Image cannot be displayed because of errors - php

Question

Okay.. so I've been trying to make a 'signature' for a game that I play.
The only catch is, I've been running into quite a few problems when wanting to insert an Avatar & Online/Offline image.
The two things I've been trying to do is:
Get user status from a webpage habplus.com/home/[username] by checking if habbo_offline.gif is present.
if(strpos(file_get_contents('http://www.habpl.us/home/'.$username.''),
'habbo_offline.gif') == true) {
Grab users image and display on the final image
function habSigFigure($username){
$omgfig = 'http://www.habpl.us/figure.php?user='.$username.'&img_format=gif';
return $omgfig;
//place habbo avatar
$habsigfig = imagecreatefromgif($omgfig);
imagecopy($img, $habsigfig, 13, 32, 0, 0, imagesx($habsigfig), imagesy($habsigfig));*/
//place habbo avatar
I've included the entire source code, and the and the page can be accessed here
-Another link with variables included
Hope you can help..
Sincerely yours, Malmoc

Answer 1

$image should be a valid resource, in your code $image is null
$image = imagecreatefrompng($img);
imagecopy($image, $status_img, 403, 96, 0, 0, 50, 16);
you can use
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(50, 16); //width,height
imagecopy($image, $status_img, 403, 96, 0, 0, 50, 16);

Answer 2

Here's your problem, fairly derpy to be honest:
imagecopy($image, $status_img, 403, 96, 0, 0, 50, 16);
$image = imagecreatefrompng($img);
You kind of need to create the image before you can copy to it. Swap those two lines around and you should be good.
