headers and footers

mike08

where can i put these headers and footers?

This is the bottom of my show_poll.php page showing a graph of result
if i put it before the (Header('Content-type: image/png'); ) it comes up with lots of rubbish like this
and if i put it after like i have here they don't seem to work all the shows is the graph as it should do. but i want it to be within my website style sheet.

hope someone can help?

 

/******************************************* 
Display image 
*******************************************/ 

Header('Content-type: image/png'); 
ImagePng($im); 

/******************************************* 
Clean up 
*******************************************/ 
ImageDestroy($im); 
?> 

<? 
include ('../includes/header.html'); 
include ('../includes/footer.html'); 
?> 
[code=php]

is it maybe to do with the fonts ive set up in my style sheet conflicting with the image?  if so how do i overcome this?

Header('Content-type: image/png');

that tells the browser he has to expect a png image...
so everything your script outputs will be part of an image...
html code doesn't make very much sense at all in an image...so you have to create another html file and embed that graph via
<image src="yourphpscriptgeneratingtheimage.php">

so you say i need to make a new html file.

the script that generates the image /must not/ output anything but the image-data...

graph.php

<?php
//generate image

 /******************************************* 
 Display image 
 *******************************************/ 

header('Content-Type: image/png'); 
imagepng($im); 

 /******************************************* 
 Clean up 
 *******************************************/ 
imagedestroy($im); 
?>

then just treat the php script that generates the image as an plain image....

display.php

<html>
<head><title>stats</title></head>
<body>
<?php
 include ('../includes/header.html'); 
?>
<image src="graph.php">
<?php
 include ('../includes/footer.html'); 
 ?>
</body>
</html>

thats it...
