I agree with the previous poster, however the example could have been fleshed out with some more meaningful and applicable examples.

I may write a new tutorial that explores some of these features in more detail.

GeorgeC -

dammit my message was truncated.

I meant to say
“GeorgeC, contact me at the email in this post and lets work something out!
I’ve been pissing on people’s contributions for a while, (and deservedly so too) it’s only fair I though my hat into the ring (or commode)

Sounds good Mark! Wait, I’m still confused what you’re proposing though? lol Are you offering to write a “proper” tutorial on using PHP to draw images?

Actually, I was thinking of that and more!

For instance, once of the annoyances of some of the news articles is that they just HINT at a technique but dont show a real world implementation or provide a zip file you can just download , edit and run - or dont show the example in a real world situation.

The other issue too, is that many of these examples seem to think that people all do static html websites - I know I dont, and some times its hard to mentally map a UL list to the required FOREACH loop in PHP or FOR loop in ASP/ASP.net to take what you usually have (a database) to get what you want (nicely formed semantic output)

So the article could be as follows.

Old Mother Hubbard’s CSS Cupboard (tm)
A cookbook of recipes with the ingredients culled from previous CSS Drive news items!

i.e.

CSS Drive Cookbook Recipe #1.

“Sweet & Sour COMMENT PAGE”

Ingredients:
1 tsp of CAPTHA http://creatingdrew.com/2008/08/using-php-to-create-and-draw-images/

Optional: For low calorie consumption use a txt file, or for a rich diet, add two cups of mySQL

Lol Mark, I can’t tell if you’re serious or just being sarcastic in your last comment. Anyhow, I don’t see a valid email address entered with your comment, so can’t contact you (assuming the former). :)
