From PHP 4 to PHP 5.. PHP Fatal zlib error: imagepng()

Getting this error?

PHP Fatal error: imagepng() [function.imagepng]: gd-png: fatal libpng error: zlib error in example.php on line 10

Fix it easily by changing your compression variable of imagepng, imagegif or imagejpg/imagejpeg into a 1-10 ranged number – instead of the PHP 4 1-100 standard.

It should work smoothly now :)
