If you're looking for a way to JUST SEND OUT AN IMAGE FILE (existing in your filesystem), you
don't need GD (or any other extension) at all.
[GD may wrongly appear to beginners as the only or the preferred option. Well, this section DID
confuse me.]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but something like the following will do perfectly well in this case
(tested with PHP5):
<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
include("photo.jpg");
?>
That's looks like the most efficient way to get any (binary) file sent to the client's
browser. Just don't forget to set the right header.
