Hi can anyone help.

I know there is a way to run php code from an image, but dont nknow how to do this so the page extension is HTML but php runs inside the html page.

how can i achieve this?

interpret .html files as php code:

depends on the webserver (e.g. apache) settings. I think you can make apache interpret .html as php by reconfiguring. however, the better way would be giving .php extensions to your php scripts.

php-generated images:

it is possible to have php deliver an image. you can do a <img src="getimage.php?some=parameters">
... as far as the php script returns an image header. see gd functions in the php.net online reference for examples.
