Generate an image using php

[pyro.699]

ok, im going to go into as much detail as i possibly can.

You guys know the SCPM (Star Craft Picture Maper) well, im good frineds with the person who made it. And im looking to generate images using php, so it would :

#1 Generate the image
#2 Save the image as a .gif / .jpg
#3 Package it properly

I know this is gona sound really stupid, but im going t try and make a basic skin generator, dont laugh :P if it fails, it will be a good leson i learned!

So, really, all i need to know, is how to generate the images! I just learned how to make buttons, ext. and i think this would be a good experiment!

I am going to need a lot of help, so if one of the coders would pm me with any of their im contacts, i could ask them questuions when i get stumped,( once i get the patteren ill be fine!)
