In other words, the form's white boxes are invisible so the page background is behind the text.

The code below watermarks an image with php. To so this the header needs to be set to: header('content-type: image/png');
But after the script has done its stuff with the image i then want it to header me to another page but it cant as the header is already sent, what can i do to get around this? or is it impossible?
header('content-type: image/png');
$watermark = imagecreatefrompng('watermark.png');
$watermark_width = imagesx($watermark);
$watermark_height = imagesy($watermark);
$image = imagecreatetruecolor($watermark_width, $watermark_height);
$image = imagecreatefrompng($_GET['src']);
$size = getimagesize($_GET['src']);
$dest_x = $size[0] - $watermark_width - 2;
$dest_y = $size[1] - $watermark_height - 25;
imagecopymerge($image, $watermark, $dest_x, $dest_y, 50, 0, $watermark_width, $watermark_height, 100);
imagepng($image);
imagepng($image, 'lightwaves.png');

Right, I'm thinking of buying a laptop off eBay. But it has Windows Vista Basic, now, no offence to Vista lovers, but I hate it! Anyway I was wondering is there anyway of knowing before I buy this laptop that I can definatly downgrade to Windows XP? And I've tried looking for the hardware manufactures names websites etc. But there is no manufactures stated in the item description, for example it says: SOUND - Internal soundcard. And it's not just that it's the same with the HDD and Graphics Card some other hardware as well. So the question is; Is there anyway of finding out weather I can downgrade this laptop to Windows XP like it should be! Without knowing the manufactures of the hardware?

Thanks, Jamie

I run a server on the same machine I play on (6600 Core 2 Duo with Comcast Cable Internet), every so often people will be randomly kicked/disconnected from my server! >:(

Is Comcast regulating the uploads and downloads with my computer and game server like they do with BitTorrent? Normally the server runs great, everyone has between 66-167 ping which is fine for Halo PC.

My old roommate repartitioned my hard drive when we formatted my computer about 3 years ago, but he only left 3.9 gigs on my C drive. Now with windows and other programs taking up more room on the C than back then, I am left with under 200 mb free space which adversely affects the performance of my computer. I'd like to repartition my hard drive, and make my C drive about 5 gigs. Is there any way to do this without reformatting my whole hard drive again? Probably will be buying a new computer in the next year but want to improve this one's performance while I still have it, and don't want to go through backing up everything and so on. Can I simply "move" space between drives? Is there any program that allows me to do this? Please let me know how to go about doing this. Thanks.

Everything is messed up! You have page numbers mixed in with headers and footers and can't alter them! UGH!

For example, if you already have a layout for your page and you want to see how a different one would look, without having to go to the edit page and erase the code and paste the new code every time to see which one looks the best.
