ImageArtist is a pure gd wrapper authored by me, this enables you to do complex image manipulations insanely easy, for your question solution can be done using very few steps using this powerful library.

here is a sample code.

$img1 = new Image("./cover.jpg");
$img2 = new Image("./box.png");
$img2->merge($img1,9,9);
$img2->save("./merged.png",IMAGETYPE_PNG);

This is how my result looks like.

You can do this with the ImageMagick extension  I m guessing that the combineImages   method will do what you want

Question is about merging two images  however in this specified case you shouldn t do that  You should put Content Image  ie  cover  into  lt img   gt  tag  and Style Image into CSS  why    As I said the cover belongs to the content of the document  while that vinyl record and shadow are just a part of the page styles  Such separation is much more convenient to use  User can easily copy that image  It s easier to index by web-spiders  Finally  it s much easier to maintain    So use a very simple code    lt div class  cover  gt      lt img src   content images covers movin-mountains png  alt  Moving mountains by Pneuma  width  100  height  100    gt   lt  div gt    cover       padding  10px      padding-right  100px       background  url  style images cover-background png  no-repeat

The GD Image Manipulation Library in PHP is probably the best for working with images in PHP  Try one of the imagecopy functions  imagecopy  imagecopymerge        Each of them combine 2 images in different ways  See the php documentation on imagecopy for more information

Use the GD library or ImageMagick  I googled  PHP GD merge images  and got several articles on doing this  In the past what I ve done is create a large blank image  and then used imagecopymerge   to paste those images into my original blank one  Check out the articles on google you ll find some source code you can start using right away

You can try my function for merging images horizontally or vertically without changing image ratio  just copy paste will work   function merge  filename x   filename y   filename result   mergeType   0            mergeType 0 for horizandal merge 1 for vertical merge      Get dimensions for specified images  list  width x   height x    getimagesize  filename x    list  width y   height y    getimagesize  filename y      lowerFileName   strtolower  filename x    if substr count  lowerFileName    jpg   gt 0    substr count  lowerFileName    jpeg   gt 0        image x   imagecreatefromjpeg  filename x        else if substr count  lowerFileName    png   gt 0        image x   imagecreatefrompng  filename x     else if substr count  lowerFileName    gif   gt 0        image x   imagecreatefromgif  filename x         lowerFileName   strtolower  filename y    if substr count  lowerFileName    jpg   gt 0    substr count  lowerFileName    jpeg   gt 0        image y   imagecreatefromjpeg  filename y        else if substr count  lowerFileName    png   gt 0        image y   imagecreatefrompng  filename y     else if substr count  lowerFileName    gif   gt 0        image y   imagecreatefromgif  filename y        if  mergeType  0         for horizandal merge      if  height y lt  height x            new height    height y            new x height    new height           precentageReduced     height x -  new height    height x 100            new x width   ceil  width x -    width x 100     precentageReduced               tmp   imagecreatetruecolor  new x width   new x height           imagecopyresampled  tmp   image x  0  0  0  0   new x width   new x height   width x   height x            image x    tmp            height x    new x height           width x    new x width         else           new height    height x            new y height    new height           precentageReduced     height y -  new height    height y 100            new y width   ceil  width y -    width y 100     precentageReduced               tmp   imagecreatetruecolor  new y width   new y height           imagecopyresampled  tmp   image y  0  0  0  0   new y width   new y height   width y   height y            image y    tmp            height y    new y height           width y    new y width                 new width    width x    width y         image   imagecreatetruecolor  new width   new height        imagecopy  image   image x  0  0  0  0   width x   height x       imagecopy  image   image y   width x  0  0  0   width y   height y     else          for verical merge     if  width y lt  width x            new width    width y            new x width    new width           precentageReduced     width x -  new width    width x 100            new x height   ceil  height x -    height x 100     precentageReduced              tmp   imagecreatetruecolor  new x width   new x height           imagecopyresampled  tmp   image x  0  0  0  0   new x width   new x height   width x   height x            image x    tmp            width x    new x width           height x    new x height         else           new width    width x            new y width    new width           precentageReduced     width y -  new width    width y 100            new y height   ceil  height y -    height y 100     precentageReduced               tmp   imagecreatetruecolor  new y width   new y height           imagecopyresampled  tmp   image y  0  0  0  0   new y width   new y height   width y   height y            image y    tmp            width y    new y width           height y    new y height                 new height    height x    height y         image   imagecreatetruecolor  new width   new height        imagecopy  image   image x  0  0  0  0   width x   height x       imagecopy  image   image y  0   height x  0  0   width y   height y            lowerFileName   strtolower  filename result    if substr count  lowerFileName    jpg   gt 0    substr count  lowerFileName    jpeg   gt 0       imagejpeg  image   filename result    else if substr count  lowerFileName    png   gt 0       imagepng  image   filename result    else if substr count  lowerFileName    gif   gt 0       imagegif  image   filename result            Clean up  imagedestroy  image    imagedestroy  image x    imagedestroy  image y        merge  images h large jpg    images v large jpg    images merged har jpg  0     merge horizontally merge  images h large jpg    images v large jpg    images merged jpg  1     merge vertically
