this is the shape_cls.php

<?
class shape{
	function connect(){

	include("dbConnect.php");

	$show = new dbConnect();

	$connection = $show->connect();

	// Select Data...
	$s = OCIParse($connection, "select male from gender");
	OCIExecute($s, OCI_DEFAULT);

	while (OCIFetch($s)) {

		$countMen = ociresult($s, "MALE");

	}

	//return the var to use within other functions 
	return $countMen;

}

function square($countMen){
	$image = imagecreate(20,$countMen);
	$maroon = ImageColorAllocate($image,100,0,0);
	$white = ImageColorAllocate($image,255,255,255);

	ImageFilledRectangle($image,50,50,10,10,$maroon);

	header ("Content-type: image/png");
	ImagePng($image); 
	ImageDestroy($image);
}
}
?>

This is dShape.php

<?
require "shape_cls.php";
$show = new shape();
$countMen = $show->connect();
$show->square($countMen);
?>

All i get is

connected‰PNG IHDRÍ^{pPLTEdÿÿÿ6¼Ò‘} IDATxœcÀ}þîIEND®B‚

The connected is a string returned from my database class connection. the sysmbols are obviously the PNG image.

Any ideas?

It would probly work is you weren't echoing connected and you might want to try to use different variable names instead of using $show twice. Not sure if that's an issue, but....
