CodeIgniter Image Loader

[ShoeLace1291]

I'm trying to extend the codeigniter loader class with a function that outputs an image based on content provided through a parameter.  When I try to view the file, i get the following error:

 

The image “http://localhost/lensereflex/main.php/images/test” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

 

This is my loader class:

<?php

class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader {

function dynamic_image($content = '', $type = 'jpeg', $file_name = FALSE){

	if($content == ''){
		show_error('There is no output to display.');
		return FALSE;
	} else {
		header('Content-Length: '.strlen($content));
		header('Content-Type: image/'.$type);
		if($file_name == TRUE){
			header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.basename($file_name).'";');
		}
		return $content;
	}

}

}

 

This is how I call the function:

 

<?php
class Images extends CI_Controller {

     function test(){

          $this->load->dynamic_image('Image Test', 'jpeg', 'test.jpg');

     }

}

did you reconfigure your routes.php in the config folder in the routes php to support "main.php" instead of "index.php"?

 

Also what your attempting to do may better be served as a module that you load into a controller.. instead of the extension concept.
