RE: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.

Kevin... YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A million billion Humble thanks! So simple, yet was such a pain to get past. I was racking my brain on that one! Man, if I could just buy you a beer online, I would. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! - NorthBayShane BUT...Does this mean I will need a separate PHP page for every graphic script? You would think there would be a way to call it from a function. (Thinking out loud now...) But I suppose I could send a variable along with my <img src="getimage.php"> tag like <img src="getimage.php?id=123"> and then when the PHP code in getimage.php compares the variable passed to it's library of code snippets it would spit back the necessary image each time. Hmmmmmmmm.... Is there a better way? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Stone [mailto:kevin@helpelf.com] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 1:34 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help. Shane, absolutely you can mix HTML and dynamically generated images. You'll actually call the image in passively via an <img> tag like this... <img src="getimage.php"> getimage.php will echo the appropriate image header (Content-type: image/png or whatever) plus your image grabbing/generating code which you will simply output to the browser. Deceptively easy, yes? :) Hope this helps. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane" <shane@delaplaine.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help. > Greetings fellow PHPers. > > I am learning basic GD functionality and I have a few YES/NO questions to ask. > This should only take a few seconds of your time.
