imagecopy problem?

[webnoob]

Heres the problem i have, ive created a graph and now need to put a little star on each change, im trying to use the imagecopy function but cant seem to get it working, heres the code i have:

$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("my url");

$mapimage = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://www.weightloss.co.uk/images/star.jpg");

//Draw HEIGHT lines
$height_x2 = $height_x1 + $xgap;
$height_y2 = $ymax - ($row_restofid['meaHeight'] * 2.1);

imageline($image, $height_x1, $height_y1, $height_x2, $height_y2, $height_linecolor);
imagecopy($mapimage, $image, 0, 0, $height_x2, $height_y2, 10, 10);

$height_x1 = $height_x2;
$height_y1 = $height_y2;

any ideas on what i need to do?

Stupid question: Does is work with another "star" image? I tried to get it to try and do what you want, but the URL for the star seems to be incorrect...

Anyway, I'll take a look at it and try with another file.

Ok, I tried that with other images...
The way you do it right now is that the image is copied on the star, not the other way around (in imagecopy, the first image is the destination, the second one is the source). You should use

imagecopy($image, $mapimage, 0, 0, $height_x2, $height_y2, 10, 10); 

As for the variables, they aren't all defined, so I had to hardcode the size, offset, etc... I assume that you didn't post the whole code...

Hope that helps,
