Is there something wrong in my code, or is the > manual wrong on the imagecolorallocate() function? TIA. I believe the automatic filling in of the background color may have been only in GD 1.0 or something... I'm not sure I ever saw it work. On the plus side, it's easy to fill in the background: imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, $width - 1, $height - 1, $background); -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
