Since no one replied, I will attempt to help.

What has writing rights or permissions have to do with it if writing
to a file works but sending to browser breaks?

What php errors do you get?

Try this to test imagepng() assuming file foo.png...

# cat getpng.php
<?php
$im = imagecreatefrompng("foo.png");
imagepng($im);
?>

# cat test.php
<?php
echo "<img src=\"getpng.php\">\n";
?>

Now browse to test.php and see if it worked or not?  The problem could
be in another function used by xyz counter or image program.

Hum, you have probably already tried that huh;)  How did you determine
it's in the imagepng or said function?  Perhaps it's in GD?

Debug the php prog and check file permission on such image program's
directories, etc.  I think all these functions require a working GD
image lib of correct version?
