ImageCreate() and displaying

exp23

I did a script that creates and image with a canvas and the some TTf text as an image on top of it and then sent it to the screen. IE 6 display's it no problem but Nestscape just displayes garble goop instead of the image. What did I do wrong? Is there some special setup I need to do for nestscape or something with the headers?

I figured out my mistake, I didn't put the : in the content-type spec in the proper spot and ie is more forgiving the NS. OOPs

However, can you tell me why this won't display my image?
<?
header ("content-type: image/jpeg")
echo<body>
echo<img scr = "box1.php" height = 20% width = 20%>
echo</body>
?>

echo<body>
echo<img scr = "box1.php" height = 20% width = 20%>
echo</body>

What the hell is that ???
Read the PHP manual for more information about the echo function. Its syntax is: echo (<string>);

so...
echo ("<body>");
is right, but...
echo <body>
is wrong. I wonder where you see that.

Moreover you shouldn't use echo to ouput plain html, simply exit from PHP to HTML using ?><?php:

?>
<body>
<img...
<?php

As a beginner you should read the PHP manual or get a book.
