When I try to use this:
[code]<img src="
<? $image = new gd_gradient_fill(100,10,'horizontal','#ff0000','#00cc00',9,number_format($newArray['song_Rating'],4));
?> " />
[/code]
it just shows this AND NO PICTURE...

Create a php file like this, called, say,  'gradient_image.php'

[code]<?php

// put your class code here
// or include a file containing the class code

$image = new gd_gradient_fill(100,10,'horizontal','#ff0000','#00cc00',9,number_format($newArray['song_Rating'],4));

header ("content-type: image/png");
imagepng ($image);
imagedestroy ($image);
?>[/code]

Now you can use your image tag

[code]<IMG src="gradient_image.php">[/code]

Create your image in another file. (Eg image.php) Then call up the image as so:

[CODE]<?php
echo'
<img src="image.php">
';
?>[/CODE]

[rookie7799]

The image that is being created requires parameters and I need to pass them somehow, either by putting the image creating into a function or a class... and for some reason it doesn'tt work like that

[rookie7799]

the onlu possible solution that I see is to store the image temperally on a disk... and then in the image creatiion file do something like this:
[code] imagejpeg($im2, "".$imgstr.".jpeg", 100);
print $myimg = $imgstr.".jpeg";[/code]

and in the file you want to see that image:
[code]<img src="
<? $image = new gd_gradient_fill(100,10,'horizontal','#ff0000','#00cc00',9,number_format($newArray['song_Rating'],4));
?> " />[/code]

Thank you for suggestion it works with some mods :)
[code]img src="image.php?rating=<?=number_format($newArray['song_Rating'],4);?>[/code]

and this is the image.php file:
[code]<?php
require_once "_global.php";
$image = new gd_gradient_fill(100,10,'horizontal','#ff0000','#00cc00',9,$_REQUEST['rating']);
?>[/code]
;D ;) :)
