ok what im making is for xbox live

<?php
$im = ImageCreate(204, 104);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$fontcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 522);
if ( $_GET['username'] == "" ) {
    $gamertag = "No Gamertag";
} else {
   $gamertag = $_GET['username'];
}
////////////////////////////////////
$str = "$gamertag";
$name = str_replace(" ", "%20", $str);
$name = str_replace(".png", "", $name);
$name = str_replace(".jpg", "", $name);
$name = str_replace(".gif", "", $name);
////////////////////////////////////
ImageString  ($im, 0, 0, 0, "<iframe src= http://gamercard.xbox.com/$name.card scrolling=no frameBorder=0 height=140</iframe>", $fontcolor);
////////////////////////////////////
Header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
ImageDestroy ($im);

It does not work but this does

<?php
$im = ImageCreate(204, 104);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$fontcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 522);
if ( $_GET['username'] == "" ) {
    $gamertag = "No Gamertag";
} else {
   $gamertag = $_GET['username'];
}
////////////////////////////////////
$str = "$gamertag";
$name = str_replace(" ", "%20", $str);
$name = str_replace(".png", "", $name);
$name = str_replace(".jpg", "", $name);
$name = str_replace(".gif", "", $name);
////////////////////////////////////
echo "<iframe src= http://gamercard.xbox.com/$name.card scrolling=no frameBorder=0 height=140</iframe>"
////////////////////////////////////
?>

But i need the top scipt because it uses GD to make it a image and this is for Xbox live gamercards the diffrence betwen the top and bottom code one is "Echo" which works and then u got "imagestring" which doesnt and is what i need but since the gamercard is html i have to like put a iframe or a div.

Okay, so here's something:
http://gamercard.xbox.com/$name.card doesn't generate an image, it generates a CSS card that looks like an image. If you want to create your own image, make the generic background, and then add the text as needed....

And in your second bit of code...

$im = ImageCreate(204, 104);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$fontcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 522);

is NOT needed. You can try without it and it will work just the same. If you actually browse to
Default Gamertag it will show you a CSS design, not an image.
