In the php manual it says: imagecreate() returns an image identifier representing a blank image of specified size. We recommend the use of imagecreatetruecolor(). Q: Why the recommendation?Because the need to create 256 colour (or less) images grows less year by year. If you need to work with a jpeg/png then imagecreatetruecolor() is required. As this is what most people need, hence the manual comment exists.
imagecreate() returns a "blank" page whereas imagecreatetruecolor() returns a "black" page.Sure, but both are easily changed. Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window"
