Dump image object information

[georg116]

Hi,

can someone tell me, if it's possible to "dump" an image object, created
like with the snippet below?

<?php
$im = ImageCreate (50, 100);
$background_col or = ImageColorAlloc ate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = ImageColorAlloc ate ($im, 233, 14, 91);
ImageString ($im, 1, 5, 5, "Ein Test-String", $text_color);
?>

'var_dump($im)' only shows me the name of the handler, which is obvious.
Is there a way to show the elements of the image "behind" the handler,
like it is with a object?

Thanks for any help,
georg

Maybe like this (not tested)?

<?php
if (ob_start()) {
if (!imagepng($im) ) {
exit('Unable to create image.');
}
$contents = ob_get_contents ();
ob_end_clean();
var_dump($conte nts);
}
?>
