$center_y = (int)HEIGHT/2;
imagerectangle($img, 0, 0, WIDTH-1, HEIGHT-1, $green);
imagefilledarc($img, $center_x, $center_y, WIDTH/2,
               HEIGHT/2, 0, 220, $green, IMG_ARC_PIE);

$darkred  = imagecolorallocate($image, 0x90, 0x00, 0x00);
  
// Make the 3D effect
for ($i = 60; $i > 50; $i--) {
   imagefilledarc($image, 50, $i, 100, 50, 75, 360, $darkred, IMG_ARC_PIE);
}
imagefilledarc($image, 50, 50, 100, 50, 75, 360, $red, IMG_ARC_PIE);
