The final outcome of my script is a PNG file. This means I have to output a content header. If I'm reading everything correctly, that means no cookies, no sessions, no file input. HOW do I get my variables passed to the PNG output script for use with imagestring()? I'm tearing my hair out - I've worked for literally two MONTHS on this script only to find out now that it looks like it's just not going to be able to be implemented in PHP. Help me, Oggie Ben Doggie, you're my only hope. -Carl

And Carl, If you need variables from prior Forms, as in, user inputed variables, you can use $_POST, and $_GET. not sure if that is what youre really asking or not, but worth a shot lol. ps: ken, didn't work :( [/quote] I need to be able to use imagestring() to output both user-input variables and declared variables.

I've been pondering the exact same issue - I need to populate a PNG image with variables taken from prior forms in the script and I'm banging my head against the wall in frustration trying to figure out how to get them there without screwing up the content header. -Carl
