[SOLVED] Creating a WHITE background with imagecreate()..

[galvin]

I'm using ...

 

$new_image = imagecreate(400, 200);

 

...but it creates a BLACK image background.  How can I make it WHITE instead?

imagecreate() creates an image identifier, like a resource stream.  It's a "black" background because that's the standard "nothing is added to the image yet" background.  There's no way to change that initial color.  What you would instead do is use something like imagefill to floodfill the image.  Or maybe use imagefilledrectangle.
