Re: Writing a GIF/JPG Image

You need to had a content header header('Content-Type: image/gif');

------------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?

You would write a script like fetch_image.php in which you would do the mysql_query() and simply echo out the image data. Then in your main HTML file you would use: <img src="fetch_image.php"> You can pass information to this script either via GET-method args. eg. <img src="fetch_image.php?id=123"> Or cooler would be to do an Apache ForceType to the PHP mime type on a file named "images" in your doc_root and put the fetch image code into thise images file. Then use: <img src="/images/123.jpg"> And in your "images" script you would pick the image name out of $PATH_INFO and do the appropriate mysql query. -Rasmus On Fri, 28 Jun 2002, Brandon wrote:
