I guess i am saying this right. I am working on a system that creates what i believe is called "images on the fly" I guess php converts text into images somehow.. not sure, but I need to know is there a way to manually create these same type of images or edit a file. The image files dont have an extension on them declaring them as images. It just says file.. Any thoughts or suggestions would be cool, im just confused because i have never seen this before.

Here is the first line from a file

ÿØÿà JFIF ÿþ >
CREATOR: gd-jpeg v2.0 (using IJG JPEG v62), default quality
ÿÛ C

Thanks In Advance
