What exactly are you trying to do? Your title suggests you're trying to edit an image. Your post describes interacting with Facebook. What have you done, and what do you still need to do? There will be several smaller sub-tasks to work out if you want to do all of that.

If your question is really about the images, then you should look into either image_magick or the GD library for PHP. They're both somewhat slow (so try to limit how much you use them, or how large the images are), and GD is usually installed by default, while image_magick is an add-on. But both can do what you're describing, at least I think so.

You could also try to do this using HTML only, such as by positioning text on top of an image.

For help with Facebook, you would probably need to refer to their documentation or ask a question on their support forum; or, possibly, if you have very specific information and can post it here, someone might be able to help.

So what are you saying? You would like to merge images and text with php?

Maybe something here will help: http://www.google.com/m?q=merge%20im...t%20with%20php
