you MUST allocate the colour to the same image as you are writing to

$white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255,0,255);
// defines an index as white for image pointer $img

imagettftext($photoImage, 12, 0, $horizmargin, $vertmargin, $white, $ttf, $waterMarkText);
// writes string to image with pointer $photoImage
