$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
// Define our style: First 4 pixels is white and the
// next 4 is transparent. This creates the dashed line effect
$style = Array(
$white,
$white,
$white,
$white,
IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT,
IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT,
IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT,
IMG_COLOR_TRANSPARENT
