Could you give more information about: "not working"

I would suggest you to take a look at: imagecopyresampled

For the code, you have to load the images as image ressources, so you can use something like:

$im1 = imagecreatefrompng($path.'image1.png');
$im2 = imagecreatefrompng($path.'image2.png');

imagecopyresampled($im1,$im2,250,150,0,0,100,150,100,150);
unset($im2);
$im3 = imagecreatefrompng($path.'image3.png');

imagecopyresampled($im1,$im3,550,150,0,0,100,150,100,150);
unset($im3);

So $im1 now have the 3 images.

Just make sure to unset the image ressources, because you will run out of memory really fast.

Edit: I used imagecopyresampled because image 2-3 seem smaller on the last image, I don't know how more resource intensive it is, I guess imagecopymerge could work too.
