I think you might need to use $source = ImageCreateFromJPEG('map1.jpg');
I've created several maps using this method, although I am using PNG. You could see them at our web site but unfortunatly it's not parsing PHP correctly. Something went wrong during migration, but might be fixed in a couple of days.

I have an image file which is a map of the local area. I want to put symbols on the map at various points, but I first need to get the php image function to work. My site has imaging enabled and I can create graphs from scratch, but this has stumped me so far. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hugh code? below: $image=imagecreate(400,400); // created image // source image info $source="map1.jpg"; $imageinfo = getimagesize($source); $source_00=0; // origin (0,0) $source_width=$imageinfo[0]; $source_height-$imageinfo[1]; $image_00=0; // origin (0,0) imagecopy($image,$source, $image_00, $image_00, $source_00, $source_00, $source_width, $source_height); / / this is line 36.
