is it possible to show text and images on the same page

bvilleit

i ask this because of the header
if you want to show an image you have to use the content header and if you set it for an image it wont show text

how am i to resolve this

i wnt to show text and pictures on the same page

Mabey you should read the post before replying.

I have also come accross this problem - the header needs to be specially set for images thus disallowing text - and would like to know how to resolve the issue. Guessing, would an include work, with the header of the include being for images? (Its unlikely now I think abou it...)

ive seen a ton of shappoing carts that have images and text that look to be made with php so i guess its possable
but does anybody know how this can be done???

eerh..

I know I am completely tupid and everything. But eeeh.. WHAT is the problem? Which header and what are you coding?

I usually just do this for a page with text and images (Like natty, I suppose):

<html><body>
this is my text<br>
<img src="myimage.gif" height="100" width="34" alt="mypicture">
</body></html>

So.. If that is NOT what you are looking for.. Please post a bit more clear question.

Ok, the header identifies the content type... php sends by default text/html, so that the browser expects pages written in html - and here u can include images and everything, not a problem at all - as leatherback told u.
When u output a content type header, it's completely impossible to add text to the output cos the browser would think that the text belongs to the image data.
So u only need to modify the header when u wanna output non-html data, for example an image from some db...
But it's the job of html to mix text, images etc. When u send an image header or whatever the browser just expects BINARY image data.
Maybe u wanna insert text INTO the image?? Then have a look at gd, it can help u, but then the text is inserted into the binary pixel data...
Ok, u got the point?
@: cool down, but i really don't know how what the problem is.... But if u ever have been workin with php, u should know about the difference between html's img tag and the content type header

i don't catch the problem either...
following leatherback example you could have:

<html><body>
this is my text<br>
<img src="a_generated_image.php" height="100" width="34" alt="mypicture">
</body></html>

Can your source be a PHP script?

It's just a URL like any other, so yes.

Basically - you can't. Once the header is sent, that's it, your content type is defined. What you need to do is have a seperate php script which creates your images for you and then call them in your HTML like a normal image tag:

You can of course pass parameters on that too, so the script.php could generate the image based on what's passed to it.

Cheers,

[/B]

actually it would have to be <img src='$path'>
and
path in the db is
/files/$imgsrc

but it doesnt work

Here's how you do it:

The first step is to organize the problem. The problem is that apparently we want mixed content on one page. These two types of content require two different headers. The solution is to separate the content. We have one page for the html content and one page for the image (binary) content.
The first page will deal with sending the image content to the browser.

image.php:

<?php
// since it sounds like you already know how to do this, I will assume $image is
//   valid image stuff and you know how to send it to the browser

// send heades
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
//output image
echo $image;
// or
imagejpeg($image);
//whatever..

?>

the next file is our HTML file
// index.php


<html>
<head>
<title>Test Image and HTML page</title>
</head>
<body>

<p>This is our test:<br>
<img src="image.php">

</body>
</html>

You can do anything you want if you properly separate and organize the problem.

You can use this technique to see if people read your email too...
