Anyone familiar with doing this?

I'm trying to have a JPG or PNG file run as PHP from my server onto an already created image file (in other words, the PHP doesn't create the image. It just pulls data from an XML source and overlays it onto my background.)

Any help would be greatley appreaciated. I already have the .htaccess file setup to force JPG files to run as PHP.

P.S. I read a couple of how-tos for making PHP create an image of a certain size, fill it with color and then lay text on it... but the text is static. I also read having the image cycle through different files... again, not what I'm looking for.
