Saving GD created images

[JoelyUK]

I'm probably missing something really obvious here, but I can't work out how to get a GD created image to save to a (web) folder on the server.

I.e. a image is created by GD, and I want to save the GD output as something.gif

I dont mind that the image is written over every time the script is called, so it can't be that hard 🙁

At the moment, I just have:

// create image and colours

$im = ImageCreate(400, 14);

$red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 0, 0);

$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

// fill image

ImageFill($im, 0, 0, $red);

// write string at (210,30) in black

ImageString($im, 2, 2, 0, $textfrompost, $black);

ImageColorTransparent($im, $red);

// release image

ImagePNG($im);

Can anyone help?

Cheers!

Joel

$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

$textfrompost = "This is text";

// fill image

ImageFill($im, 0, 0, $red);

// write string at (210,30) in black

ImageString($im, 2, 2, 0, $textfrompost, $black);

ImageColorTransparent($im, $red);

// release image

ImagePNG($im);
ImagePNG($im, 'Upload/test_image.png');


?>

Where the directory 'Upload' gives permission to everyone to read write and execute (CHMOD 777).
