It looks like you might be outputting some extra content to the browser,
such as newlines or other content. Use the second parameter of
imagepng() to write the image to a file and compare the size of that
with the bytes sent to the browser (you should be able to get this from
the browsers properties dialogue)
>From the looks of what you've pasted, the extra content is appearing
right after the image data, so perhaps an exit; call right after
imagepng() and seeing if that solves the problem.
