Merging multiple PNG images together?

[trparky]

I am attempting to stitch multiple PNG images together to form one combined PNG image, but I am having difficulty tracking don the functions and information that I need to do this.

Does anyone want to shed some light on this problem of mine?

Each of my images that I want to stitch togethe have a height of 20 and a width of 15.

All the images are counter digit images. So, what I am attempting to do is make a counter image using individual digit images.

Say, 1234, I would make a single PNG image with those images stitched together.

I found the imagecopy and the imagecopymerge function, but as far as using it, I get a broken image whenever I try and use it.

Anyone want to lend a hand?

Well, you're using the right functions; how are you trying to use them (some code will be helpful).

I eventually figured it out, but for some reason, it sends the server load times high.

Can someone give me an idea to help reduce the load time at execution?

Some code would be helpful.

Here is the counter script.
