Headers for inline images

[redneck]

I have been working on a script which uses ImageJPEG() to output a JPEG image which has been modified. The script works fine when used to save the new image to a file.

I can also generate the image on-the-fly and present it in the browser without saving it. The code for doing so looks like this:

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
ImageJPEG($image_resized);

This works so long as no HTML text has been generated prior to call to header(). The header() call for the JPEG must be the first in the document sent to the browser. Obviously, that's not very practical as I would like to surround the image with explanatory text.

I tried using header() in this way, again calling it inside an HTML page:

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Disposition: inline");
ImageJPEG($image_resized);

Again, this did not work.

Is there any way to send a dynamically generated image as an inline image in a document produced with PHP? Or must I save the image as a file and use the <img src> tag?

I have seen the same question asked somewhere else, but newayz

What you need to do is seperate the PHP code that outputs the jpeg from teh code that outputs the html. Then save the code that generates the JPEG on the fly as image.php. Give the header image/pjpeg for this file.

Then on the code that generates html put a <img> tag like this:

<img src="image.php">

You can pass variables in the <img> tag's src attribute if you want the script to generate dynamic images instead of a static one.
