Weird one--PHP parsing jpg image!?

Our site, under construction, displays a gallery of jpeg images. We're using Apache with PHP 4.0.2 compiled in, on Windows 98SE. At one point we recall our page with $PHP_SELF, and it generates a URL like http://localhost/php/php.exe/sandbox/gallery_demo.php. The weird thing is that some of the images show up as broken links. Okay, so we get the link properties and copy & paste the URL into the browser, like: http://localhost/php/php.exe/sandbox/images/rainbow.jpg. We get back an error message that PHP found an illegal character in line 7 of the jpeg file!? If we excise the php/php.exe part that's generated by $PHP_SELF, making the URL simply http://localhost/sandbox/gallery_demo.php then all the images display correctly. So I guess we have two questions: 1. How to make PHP not treat the jpg files as code? 2. Or, as a work around, how to ensure the jpg image passes through PHP, as most of our images do successfully? Thanks. --David --------------------------------------- David M. Phillips eBoing, Inc. dphillips@eboing.com Austin, Texas
