I've recently started on an Character Generation-type script, and hoping to develop this much further, because at the current state that it's in, you have to manually edit the $_GET superglobals, but I was wondering if someone would be able to discuss some possible solutions to this, so that users can create, edit, and remove things from their character, and then have it save in a database. Also, how should I do the applying, at the moment, I created a function called mergeImage, and it uses the imagecopymerge to merge the hair and eyes seperately onto the head, saving the output as another file, and then printing the final image to the browser. But say I added a piercing, and then I wanted to remove it, would I have to somewhere store all the things that they have on their character, like the hair, eyes, etc, and then just re-apply all of those, leaving out the excluded object? How much stress would this put on the server, having to do this? I checked an IRC channel dealing with PHP, and someone said something about MD5? Could you please explain this, and what he could have possibly meant to do with it. I'm not asking anyone for piece of code that does all this, but rather just some guidelines that will help me to get an efficient way of editing, and producing the characters. Anyways, if anyone actually took the time to read all this, and actually reply, your help is greatly appreciated. A demo of what I have so far can be seen at:

But yeah, you have to manually change the hair and eyes, and I only have 2 of each, since they're only temporary graphics until I get deeper into this.
