PHP GD: Image cannot be displayed because of errors

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

$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);

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.
