Sounds like you are trying to output the actual file content of the

image in the HTML.

You should have a separate script generate the img and link to it with

your HTML

<img src="generate_image.php?img=someImage" /> Then in the script generate_image.php you create the image and pass it

back at that point. Depending on what is in your myfunct(), you may also need to set a header to let the browser know what type of content you are outputting.

But the header, say __header("Content-type: image/png");__ would go at the top of generate_image.php, to stay with the example above, no? Doesn't direct output from GD function calls, necessarily using a header call of the correct type, prevent any other html output on that page? David

It does not "prevent" other HTML output, but the browser will not read it as HTML, it will think that it is binary data in the format of the picture data instead. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
