Image edited w/GD showing bad link

[Anon]

I've got a website where I want to display a sort of scoreboard at the bottom. The code I have right now grabs the count from a DB... then opens an existing PNG image... then I place a string on the image...

Sometimes it works great. But randomly I get a bad link when I view these pages. Any ideas why?

This is my current code... $points is passed into scoreboard.php which is the following:

Header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @ImageCreateFromPNG ('images/bee.png');
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
ImageString ($im, 3, 5, 70, "$points entries", $black);
ImagePNG($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
