Re: Writing a GIF/JPG Image

OK, i made this image.php file: ------------start--------------- <?php $theFile = ""; $fcontents = file ('Logo.gif'); while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) { $theFile .= $line."\n"; } echo $theFile; ?> -------------end----------------- and I have an html file that does <img src="image.php"> but it just prints out a red box with an X, as if image is broken. I know the image is getting read in because I can echo it and its a bunch of garble, just like the jpg is if I open it up in notepad. Any idead?
