The wierd thing is that the first two integers tell where to place the "circle".
So for example I first create the "pallet" to place the circle on.
$image = imagecreate(500, 500);
(this makes a huge 500x500 gif :) )
$colorBody = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
(make the default color of the "pallet" black
$circleColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 255);
(going to make the circle an ugly pink color)
imagearc($image, 250, 250, 300, 300, 0, 360, $circleColor);
Places the image in the center (250,250) and the circle is 300 pixels in diameter.
Hope this helps.
