That would be due to you outputting in a header that the content is a
gif. Since that is what the browser is expecting, that's all it
assembles and shows.

If you wish to have the image and link on a page, you need to set an
image tag with the URL of the generated image as the source (IE:
image.php?action=result).

Best thing I can think of before coffee. I swear, I need more and more
sleep each day to function at a level someone drunk might mistake as
properly.
