Image Functions

[nic]

I'm having a weird problem with the Php GD lib image function. This code works perfectly:

 

header("Content-type: image/png");

 

$im = imagecreatetruecolor(150, 20);

 

$string = strtoupper($_GET['s']) ;

$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);

$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 186, 176, 164);

$font = '../../fonts/Optima.suit';

 

imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 150, 20, $white);

imagettftext($im, 9, 0, 0, 20, $color, $font, $string);

 

imagepng($im);

imagedestroy($im);

 

 

but this gives me a broken link:

 

header("Content-type: image/png");

$string = $_GET['text'];

$im     = imagecreatefrompng("button.png");

$orange = imagecolorallocate($im, 220, 210, 60);

$px     = (imagesx($im) - 7.5 * strlen($string)) / 2;

imagestring($im, 3, $px, 9, $string, $orange);

imagepng($im);

imagedestroy($im);

 

 

The fact that the first example works makes me think required libraries are install fine, but the second example is copied straight out of the Php manual, which can't be wrong.... I'm so confused.

 

 

Any help here would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

If it isn't working something must be wrong, right.

That would be the conventional wisdom... but what the problem is is what's stumping me.
