Again any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance ill add all the code here for you guys. Saving the google chart api function saveImage($chart_url,$path,$file_name) { if ( (!file_exists($path.$filename)) || (md5_file($path.$filename) != md5_file($chart_url)) ) { file_put_contents($path.$filename,file_get_contents($chat_url)); } return($filename); } function doSomething() { $local_image_path ="home/sean/img/charts/"; $imagename="some_chart_image.png"; $chart_url = $chartimage; $image = saveImage($chart_url ,$local_image_path,$image_name); echo "Image Saved"; } $body .= "<table class='formTABLE'> <tr> <TD class='FieldCaptionTD' align='right' colspan='2'> <input class='Button' method='post' action='' align='right' type='submit' name='save_file' value='Save'> <input class='Button' method='post' action='' align='right' type='submit' name='submit_button' value='Submit'> </center> </TD> </tr> </table>"; $body .= htmlmaintsplit(); ?> <img src="/home/sean/work/some_chart_image.png" alt="" /> How am i to use this now to save the graph i have created ???
