how to import an imagepng($im); within my page

[jasonc]

i have my page and use the include method to try to add the image created in the included file, but it just shows all the strange characters and not the image.

 

i want to hopefully have it show within a table set i have

 

how is this done?

You must use an <img src="the_URL_of_an_image_here" alt=""> HTML tag for each image. You cannot put the raw image data in the middle of HTML.

 

The php code that outputs the content type header followed by the imagepng($im); must be in its' own file and the URL of that file is put into the src="..." attribute of the <img tag.

so there is no other way around this?

Images on a web page - http://w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp

 

You have got to get the HTML correct before you use php to output HTML or media content.

ok i have added this to my script...

 

$newimage = imagepng($im);  //  previsouly just      imagepng($im);

$temp_folder = "temp_images/";

$randomname = $temp_folder . "temp_image_".rand(10, 999999) . ".png";
while (file_exists($randomname)) {
$randomname = $temp_folder . "temp_image_".rand(10, 999999) . ".png";
}
$fp = fopen($randomname, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $newimage);
fclose($fp);
imagedestroy($im);

 

but now i get the strange characters and not the image on the page.  the image contains only one byte and nothing else.
