Yes, I was mainly wanting to know if I needed to call it at all with what I was doing.

not unless you want to create a new image (and add some part of another image to it, add some text etc) and output that. also IIRC its only available in GDlib 2.0.x and up.

Ah, thank you. after checking that the folder was there I found I had made a mistake in the path to the folder. 8_ I can believe I didnt find it before. Aside from that error, did I go about the image resizing and everything in the correct way? What is the use of imagecreatetruecolor(). Thanks for the help.

imagecreatetruecolor (PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5) imagecreatetruecolor -- Create a new true color image Description resource imagecreatetruecolor ( int x_size, int y_size ) imagecreatetruecolor() returns an image identifier representing a black image of size x_size by y_size. Example 1. Creating a new GD image stream and outputting an image. <?php header ("Content-type: image/png"); $im = @imagecreatetruecolor(50, 100)

     or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91); imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?>

    Note: This function requires GD 2.0.1 or later.

    Note: This function will not work with GIF file formats.

See also imagedestroy() and imagecreate(). --- for a more well laided out copy of this text goto: http://nl2.php.net/imagecreatetruecolor or maybe the manual wasn't clear to you and you are seeking further clarification?
