Over-complicating it? Yes, I must admit that's true. The problem however
was not that I didn't understand the question, but that I apparently was
hostile. For someone extra-sensitive, I think I could've looked like

You guys are over-complicating this. If you want to help someone and don't
understand their question, just say so. People asking for help are usually
more than happy to provide additional information or rephrase their

Be careful when using the question, "Are you new to PHP?". It has

That was my problem with your post--why imply the question, and leave
it open to interpretation? Why not
"It seems pretty straightforward to me." is more responsible than

Yes, it actually would've been should the person who started the thread

I wrote a Color gradient in GD it is actually very simple. Though you need
GD 2.x and mine is designed to go from left to right changing the color to
