$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
// Set the content type header - in this case image/jpeg
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
// Output the image
imagejpeg($im);
// Free up memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>

imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
// Save the image as 'simpletext.jpg'
imagejpeg($im, 'simpletext.jpg');

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
// Set the content type header - in this case image/jpeg

imagejpeg($im, NULL, 75);
// Free up memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>

If you want to output Progressive JPEGs, you need to set interlacing on with imageinterlace(3).
