Strange... my image is true color and I get an error about the image having
an error when its true color but works when I use imagecreate as in your
example or the one in the php manual... ;/ Do I have the wrong mime type or
is can I not use this method with true color? (was saving to a png file and
then loading that with <img> and it worked fine)
Thanks,
Jon
