MVC / header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

[johnsmith153]

Weird question.

 

I am using a captcha class which creates the code/image simply by doing this:

<img src="captcha.php">

 

The captcha.php file has lots of code of course, but this being key to my question:

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
ImageJpeg($image);

 

Can I do it so I can create the image in the PHP of the actual script executing, so I don't have to call captcha.php in the image?

- So it would look like this: (well no, but I think this explains what I want)

<img src="<?php echo $captchaCreated; ?>">

 

I am using a MVC design and don't see why the captcha should try and change this.

The src="..." attribute of the <img > tag is a URL. The browser requests the image and displays it on the page. That's the way images work on web pages and that is the way you need to do it.
