Include an image

[Anon]

I want to make a script, which includes a picture file. File's location is defined in a variable, eg. $picture = "pics/dog.jpg", but I can't use include(), because it displays instead of picture all kinds of characters ####%%. Is there any other way to include picture with PHP?

You have two choices.

a) Use an <IMG> tag. i.e. <IMG SRC=\"$picture\" BORDER=0>

b) If the only thing you are doing is displaying the image with this script, first send the Content-type header. For example, if it is always a .jpg

Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

This will force the browser to display the stream as an image. Hope that helps!

I'm trying to do a similar thing:

<?
if ($id == "dground") {
Header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
include "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/images/dangerous.jpg");
}
?>

Sorry, forgot to explain the problem... I'm getting an error, "Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/hsphere/local/home/fractalm/davidho.fractalmedia.net/work.php:8) in /home/hsphere/local/home/fractalm/davidho.fractalmedia.net/work.php on line 10"

which refers to the Header line... What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
