GD won't work?

[itman647]

For some reason my GD library won't work?

This is the code in my php file

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(110, 20)
    or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

When I view the php file all I get is a broken image with the red cross thingy?

I'm using the intermediate php configuration btw.

Please Help!
Edit:
I've copied this snippet from the PHP.net website btw.

I'm eventually gonna learn how to make it into a CAPTCHA but I can't even create a simple image like this so there's no way im gonna be able to make a CAPTCHA. :dunno:
