Greetings Mr. Wong, I`ve been going through countless examples from various sites but still I`m not getting an image. I`ve placed the php script in a seperate file and referenced it as per example in the PHP manual, but no luck. Ive since been thinking maybe my PHP isnt configured for images as Mr. Schroebel, from this list, sent me his phpinfo() output and his contains a section labelled "gd", which mine doesn`t. I went to php.ini and opened up the "extension = gd.so" and "extension = zlib.so" entries hoping this may solve it...nadda. Could it be that I don`t have some libraries installed ?
