GD Error. Simple fix?

[Blaine0002]

So im working on a dynamic signature script, by pulling halo 3 stats off bungie.net and applying them to an image and cacheing the image.

 

<?php
$url = 'http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=lazydonkey2';
$page = file_get_contents($url);<?php
$url = 'http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=lazydonkey2';
$page = file_get_contents($url);

preg_match('/<li><h3>(.*?)     - /', $page, $name);
preg_match('/id="ctl00_mainContent_identityStrip_lblRank">(.*?)<\/span>/', $page, $rank);
preg_match('/id="ctl00_mainContent_identityStrip_lblSkill">(.*?)<\/span>/', $page, $level);
preg_match('/id="ctl00_mainContent_identityStrip_EmblemCtrl_imgEmblem" src="([^\"]+)/', $page, $icon);

$url = "http://www.bungie.net" . $icon[1];
$url = str_replace("&","&",$url); 
$img = getimagesize($url) or die();
    if ( $img[2] == 1 ) {
        $icon = imagecreatefromgif( $url ) or die();
    } elseif ( $img[2] == 2 ) {
        $icon = imagecreatefromjpeg( $url ) or die();
    } elseif ( $img[2] == 3 ) {
        $icon = imagecreatefrompng( $url ) or die();
    } else {exit();}

$image = imagecreatefrompng("sigs/1.png");
$x = imagesx($icon);
$y = imagesy($icon);
$px = ((200-$x)/2);
$py = 15; 
        $font = 4;
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
imagestring($image, $font, 165, 15, $name[1], $black);
imagestring($image, $font, 165, 35, $rank[1], $black);
imagestring($image, $font, 165, 55, "Highest Level: " . $level[1], $black);
imagecopymerge($image, $pic, $px, $py, 0, 0, $x, $y, 100);


header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

 

i think there could be 2 things wrong with this..

Im not sure if gd is recognising the image im telling them, as it does not have a file extension. Does this mater? you can save it as a .jpg file tho so thats what i think it would pick it up as.

 

Second thing i think could be wrong is i was told i might need to use fopen() to open remote urls... i do have that remote fopen thing activated in my php.ini

 

Thanks for your help as im new to gd

i figured out i need to use the

	$icon_data = fread($icon, 10000000);
    fclose($icon);

to read the data.

 

Still dosent work,

 

is it because im putting a jpg onto a png?
