Image creation: create text from included file

[poorman]

Here is my script:
[code]<?php
$img_number = imagecreate(275,25);
$backcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,102,102,153);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,255,255,255);
$incFile = "songnow.php";
$foo = include($incFile);
imagefill($img_number,0,0,$backcolor);
$number = " Current song is $foo";

Imagestring($img_number,10,5,5,$number,$textcolor);

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($img_number);
?>[/code]

It has no problem generating text if I type it in but I want it to gather this text from a file. So I am trying to include songnow.php. Songnow.php is a plain text file, which I would like outputed. Which when I try it spits this out (first line being the text inside songnow.php:

311 - T & P Combo
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/bota/public_html/stream/signature/songnow.php:2) in /home/bota/public_html/stream/signature/index.php on line 12

There is no way I can modify songnow.php since it get constantly updated - song and artist information only nothing else. Anyway to make this work?

Instead of

[code]
$foo = include($incFile);
[/code]

use

[code]
$lines = file($incFile);  // Read file into an array of lines
$foo = $lines[0];  // Get first line
[/code]
