[PHP]$image = @imagecreate(480, 250) or die ("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 0, 0);
imagestring ($im, 255,255,0, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
header ("Content-type: image/gif");
imagegif($im);[/PHP]

result: none image shown
gd version: 2.0.15
from the phpinfo()
GIF Read Support enabled

You haven't actually set the background colour - you've just created the object.
[php]imagefill($im, 0, 0, $background_color);[/php]
