Well, you may not have the BCmath enabled, and this script will break if
bcmod isn't there, probably without you seeing an error message.
A tip for debugging image scripts - comment out the line like
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
and run the script again; if there is an error it will be displayed (error
settings permitting) whereas with the header in place, all you will get is
the broken image icon, most likely.
