Besides the missing $'s, you also aren't doing anything with the $gd object you created, you can't simply start drawing and expect that GD will know how to get that image to the web browser. What you will have to do is either have GD save the image you are creating to a file, or have a separate script that draws and outputs the image, but either way you will need to include an <img> tag in the html that you are generating to indicate to the web browser where to get the image from and where to display it in the html.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!
