Not sure I'm following this, but... The PHP file that creates the GD image is a completely separate HTTP request (file) from the main page, in the same way that any IMAGE is in a separate file in a static site. If both the main program and the image need access to an array of data, you either need to pass that array to the picture.php file as a GET parameter (or POST, I guess) or re-generate that array using the same code as in the main program (possibly a good candidate for an include file). So, in main.php, you might have some code that ends up generating something not unlike: <IMG SRC=picture.php?array[1]=17&array[2]=13&array[3]=32> -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is not working -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
