It should be noted that if you only want to "save" the file, and not display it to the browser, you should catch the imagegif into a variable. Example: <?php //Only saves the file to a destination, no display $image_value = imagegif($image, $save_file_to_path); //Saves file and attempts to display it, but will throw an error message imagegif($image, $save_file_to_path); //Only displays, never saves as a file imagegif($image); //Note: In [my] third example, for displaying only, it is probably good to use the "header('Content-type: image/gif'); declaration, but it's not needed in the first example for saving as a .gif file. ?> --was-- It should be noted that if you only want to "save" the file, and not display it to the browser, you should catch the imagegif into a variable.
