Displaying Image inside a page

[dogshasha]

Greetings to all,

 

<?php

$arrayFromDataBase=createArrayFromDataBase("$myQuote");

//Use $myQuote to retrieve all data from database into an array called $arrayFromDataBase

 

displayChartFromArray($arrayFromDataBase);

// Display a chart from $arrayFromDataBase generated above

?>

 

Above code snippet is the way I like it to work. But it doesn't. I think it's because in order to display an image, a header like this header("Content-Type: image/png"); has to be sent to the browser. But the page itself already has a header, most likely <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;  />

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

So here is what I had to do to make it work:

 

<?php

$arrayFromDataBase=createArrayFromDataBase("$myQuote");

//Use $myQuote to retrieve all data from database into an array called $arrayFromDataBase for chart display and other purposes

 

echo "<img src='displayChartFromDataBase.php?myQuote=$myQuote' />";

?>

 

The code above works well (NOTE that I pass the variable $myQuote as parameter to another script displayChartFromDataBase.php). The only problem is I have to retrieve the same data twice (one for building up the array $arrayFromDataBase and another for displaying chart)

 

Is there any way to display images in a html/text page?

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

 

Alex
