GD Error on displaying png image

When trying to load a png image in GD, I get the error (Mozilla Firefox)
"cannot display image, because it contains errors"; IE just shows an empty
'image-error' box.
When loading a large enough image, it does build up the image
gradually until it's almost finished, but then the partly visible image
is replaced by the error message/error box as described above.
It seems like indexed <256cols pngs are not subject to this problem. I've
read that earlier versions of GD were limited to handling indexed pngs
only, but recent GD versions (>=2.0) should not.

My configuration:
GNU/Debian Linux 3.0, Apache 1.3.31, PHP 4.3.4, GD 2.0 'or higher'
(bundled with PHP), libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-7,
Also tested on GNU/Slackware Linux 9.0 with Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.6,
GD 2.0.22, with similar results.

The testcode I use:
<?php
$photo = "image.png" ;
$im = @ImageCreateFro mPng ($photo);
header ("Content-type: image/png");
ImagePng ($im);
?>

Anyone got a clue? Thanks in advance.
Wim

A wild guess; how long does the image take to download? Is it exceeding the
setting of max_execution_t ime? This would dump an error message in the image
data and so could cause this symptom.

No clue. But to debug GD images, you can change the header to
"Content-type: text/plain" temporarily. This will dump the contents to the
screen as plain text, including error messages!

I thought this is more of an IE issue but i've had no joy on that group perhaps somebody here will have a clue. If i click a link to a web page embedded in Excel (97 OR 2000) i get the standard error page displayed by IE (you know, the 'cannot find server or dns error' page). Turning off 'show friendly http error messages' alleviates this. (Unfortunately this is the Windows default setting!) Whats going on?!?!

At first I was not certain what could cause Access 97 from displaying most jpeg images, but not all. After further testing, it seemed that all original images of less than 275 pixels per inch or less would display, but those close to 300 pixels/inch or greater would not (MS Access cannot recognize the file format xxx.jpg). The larger, original images were scanned and saved as .bmp (at 300 dpi producing a 15MB file). Then the images were...

My problem is that when the user's file size exceeds 512k, the page immediately redirects to the "The page cannot be displayed" error page which is very confusing. ...

Hi Again, Throwing this one out to you again as i am not getting anywhere and can find little to no information out there. I am currently displaying images (Jpegs) in access via the routine set up in the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/en-us. It works fine if the image is under 1000x1000 pixels. It is set up so the user can double click to open the image in its host application.
