Text is disappearing when I try to add an image in PHP + GD library

I'm trying to create a PNG with some text and a scaled picture in it. Here is the code for just the text, it works fine:

<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$label = imagecreate(500, 500);
imagecolorallocate($label, 0, 0, 0);

// up text
$color = imagecolorallocate($label, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext($label, 50, 0, 0, 150, $color, "arial.ttf", "UP UP UP");

// down text
$color = imagecolorallocate($label, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext($label, 50, 0, 0, 350, $color, "assets/fonts/arial.ttf", "DOWN DOWN DOWN");

header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($label);
imagedestroy($label);
die();
?>

With the code above you get the following picture, which is correct:

Now I'm trying to have a small picture in it, So I'm loading the picture from a JPEG file (adidas.jpg). Here's the code

<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);


$label = imagecreate(500, 500);
imagecolorallocate($label, 0, 0, 0);


// up text
$color = imagecolorallocate($label, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext($label, 50, 0, 0, 150, $color, "arial.ttf", "UP UP UP");

// image
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg("adidas.jpg");
$pic = imagecreatetruecolor(500, 500);
imagecopyresampled($label, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, 150, 150, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
$white = imagecolorallocate($pic, 255, 255, 255);
imagefill($label,0,0,$white);
imagedestroy($pic);


// down text
$color = imagecolorallocate($label, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext($label, 50, 0, 0, 350, $color, "arial.ttf", "DOWN DOWN DOWN");

header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($label);
imagedestroy($label);
die();
?>

And this is what I get:

To my surprise the "down" text disappeared. Why is that? The text added before the picture is fine, the text added after it turns to black for some reason

Your code is bit messy, "DOWN.." text will appear if you remove second:

$color = imagecolorallocate($label, 255, 255, 255);

You dont fill the original image, you try it later but with wrong color ($white is from $pic, not $label). I cleaned it up:

<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$label = imagecreate(500, 500);
$black = imagecolorallocate($label, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($label, 255, 255, 255);
imagefill($label, 0, 0, $black);

imagettftext($label, 50, 0, 0, 150, $white, "arial.ttf", "UP UP UP");

$src = imagecreatefromjpeg("adidas.jpg");
$pic = imagecreatetruecolor(500, 500);
imagecopyresampled($label, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, 150, 150, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
$white2 = imagecolorallocate($pic, 255, 255, 255);

imagettftext($label, 50, 0, 0, 350, $white, "arial.ttf", "DOWN DOWN DOWN");

ob_end_clean();
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($label);

imagedestroy($src);
imagedestroy($pic);
imagedestroy($label);
die();
?>
