php header

[simple_man_11]

when using the below code I get the following error:

The image “SecondType.php3” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

 

 

<?

include('config.php');


$query="SELECT * FROM Images where userID = '$userID' ";
$result=mysql_query($query);

while ($array= mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
	{

		Header( "Content-type: image/gif");
                echo "$user $array[image]";
	}

	if (!$result)
	{
	echo "Did not retreive anything from the database";
	}
?> 

 

I realize the problem is the line:

  echo "$user $array[image]";

 

where if I take out $user then it will display the image just fine.  I need it to display an image and some text.  I have a feeling that I need to use a different Header() function but am having no luck finding anything for mixed.  Maybe this can not be done???

 

--------------------------------------------------------

if I do it like the following code then I get another error:

The header tells the browser what to expect, if you want to output text on the image look into the www.php.net/imagecreate functions to do that type of setup.

 

But you cannot display text on a page that is suppose to be only an image.

If you want to display image/text on the same page, you can't simply just plugin the variable in your php containing the text.
