The icon essentially means that it was a broken image, or that they code did
not work. I know that wasn't much help.
On another point, in my opinion, it doesn't make a whole lot of logical
sense to have a die("Error text") statement in code that creates an image..
If an error does occur, it will still display the same broken image icon.
However, I am not the definitive word on the matter, and if you or anyone
else has a different opinion on the matter, I would be more than happy to
hear it.
