Sending info to a PHP generated image

Anon

Hi,

I have a PHP script that outputs a chart Gif
This script is within a php3 webpage.

For example, the url could be
eg.www.mydomain.com/index.php3?Stat=83

In my page, I inserted the follow line :
<img src="pic.php3?Stat=$Stat">

the image won't recognize the 83 i am sending to the page.

I am suppose to send the php image script(within the index.php3 page) a certain number to use in the Gif image.
But it somehow doesn't read the information(the index.php3?Stat=83 part).

the image won't recognize the 83 i am sending to the page.

Are you sure that it is parsed by the PHP engine... If you copied that string right out of your code it doesnt get parsed (coz if it did you would get an error)... It might be that. But that's juat a long shot in the dark

If I change the code to the following, then the image loads fine :

but the following doesn't work :
<img src="pic.php3?Stat=$Stat">

where $Stat would come from a url such as http://www.mydomain.com/index.php3?Stat=83

is it because the $Stat part of
<img src="pic.php3?Stat=$Stat">
is within quotation marks?

thanx
