Image Stream

Anon

The code to stream an image should look like

Header("Content-type: image/gif");
ImageGif($whatever);

The mime type is image/gif

if add echo("My Pic"); before the above two line so the code becomes like

echo("My Pic");
Header("Content-type: image/gif");
ImageGif($whatever);

I get an error:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\apache\htdocs\ve.php:133) in d:\apache\htdocs\ve.php on line 134

and the pic is garbled

Thanks

I think that you need to make sure that you don't have any spaces, characters, etc. before the first <?

The problem is that these will be output first, then the headers are added.... and bam! This is also why your image is fscked up.

My web site generates a pic for every user. If save the generated image to the server then use :
echo("<IMG SRC=\"plp/lpfn.gif\">");

I will end up with so many image files in my server and I don’t have much space. Anybody has any idea how can I go about doing this.

What you need to do is move the image creating code into it's own file, then call it within the HTML:

<? //page.php
echo "My Pic";
echo "<IMG SRC=\"image.php?me=3\">";
?>

<? //image.php

//do logic to determine the image you want to generate

Header("Content-type: image/gif");
ImageGif($whatever);
?>
