$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($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");

You haven't actually set the background colour - you've just created the object.

imagefill($im, 0, 0, $background_color);
