What's the problem here?

[Anon]

$msg = "<IMG SRC=\"do_create_cert3.php?cert_color=<?=$cert_color?>&text_color=<?=$text_color\">";

$to = "emailaddress.com";

$options = "From: " . $fromname . " <" . $fromemail . ">\r\Content-Type: text/html; Charset=us-ascii";
mail("$to","Image mail","$msg",$options);

Above is a snippet of code im using to send a dynamically created image (thanks to jesse for the help), the email gets sent but the image is broken, (its a box with the red x in it). Why isnt the image displaying?, by the way i tried changing Content-Type: image/jpeg, but when that email is sent, the user has to download the file but once it is download, no program can be associated with it and therefore it wont open. Thanks for any help...

If I understand correctly the do_create_cert3.php generates the image. Then the problem is that it is trying to access the script on the local machine. You need to include the full pathname.

$msg = "<IMG SRC=\"http://www.mydomain.com/do_create_cert3.php?cert_color=<?=$cert_color?>&text_color=<?=$text_color\">";

thanks for the reply mark. I tried your suggestion and still the image doesnt appear in the email, just the box with the red X.

The problem might be in your generation then. Make sure that any pathnames in the program are absolute and not local names. other than that. Maybe jesse can help?
