[PHP] Moving code from a specific file to a generic one
Hi, I have this source code in this randomImage.php file (see source): http://www.tuxdoit.com/randomImage.phps This generates a random image for form validation. Now, as you can see, i call the picture from http://www.tuxdoit.com/newslwetter.php as img src=randomImage.php and that works just fine. But... i'd like to include the source code of randomImage.php in a generic functions.php file along with others. My problem is i'm not being able to do that. If i move the code to functions.php, what modifications must be made to the image generation code and how do i call it from newsletter.php ? I've already tried to make it a function, of course, but no good :( I'm driving nuts with this :( Any help would be apreciated.

What error messages do you get? Or does nothing happen? What is the scope of $image? Have you recognized it as a global within the function, and declared it external to the function? Have you deconstructed randomImage and built it up incrementally within function.php? Could it be that if you try and include it in functions.php there is output somewhere sent to the browser before the header() and session_start() functions are called? Finally, what's wrong with calling it as you do at present? Flash programmers are forced into that model for every class they create. It must be an independent .as file, with the same name as the function, and contain code only for properties and methods of that function.

Hi MARG, It will be better if you can provide the code here and what error you are getting. BTW header function is the key here.
