In the code above you reset the icon array each time the script is run,
which is probably not what you want. You should also use the function
isset in the if-statement condition so it can handle all file names
correctly including "0" and "0.0" (both interpreted as boolean false):

if (!isset($icons[$icon_name])) {
$icons[$icon_name] = imagecreatefrompng($icon_name);
}
$icon = $icons[$icon_name];

No, it's perfectly valid.
