      Dynamic Heading Generator

      This script generates PNG images of text, written in
      the font/size that you specify. These PNG images are passed
      back to the browser. Optionally, they can be cached for later use. 
      If a cached image is found, a new image will not be generated,
      and the existing copy will be sent to the browser.
  
      Additional documentation on PHP's image handling capabilities can
      be found at http://www.php.net/image/
