GD picture help.

[Jonathan]

hello,

I feel the best way to describe the question i have is to give an example of what i need to do, then ask my question.
lets say i have a gif image, whos name is 1.gif, and whos demensions are 50px x 50px.
and i want to put it on a page called index.php. i dont want to embed it.
so what is the best way to do that?

<img src="1.gif" width="50" height="50" align="middle" lowsrc="1.gif">

this code seems to work. but i cant seem to do any of the stuff that i have been reading about.for instance how do i use these codes?

ImageCreateFromGd(),
imageColorAlocate(),
ImageDestroy(),
--------------------------------------------------------------------
could some one plug in these values for me and show me what the following code would look like ?

i think of those three codes listed, i understand color allocate best
bascily its asking for RGBA color scheem. (255.255.255.0) would be one color,but it also it asks about traqnsparency as well.
the other 2 im not quite sure of.

i went to www.boutell.com/gd and I could not find any forum there.

I dont understand why you want to use GD to create the image. Is the image already there? If it is, there's no point in using GD because GD is used to create images and manipulate them via the web. Maybe im misunderstanding???

If you have the image already just stick to
<img src="1.gif" width="50" height="50" align="middle" lowsrc="1.gif">

If you wanna do this while in php you can just print the code:
<?php
print("<img src='1.gif' width='50' height='50' align='middle'>");
?>

I hope this helps
