Re: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.
Shane, absolutely you can mix HTML and dynamically generated images. You'll actually call the image in passively via an img tag like this... img src=getimage.php getimage.php will echo the appropriate image header (Content-type: image/png or whatever) plus your image grabbing/generating code which you will simply output to the browser. Deceptively easy, yes? :) Hope this helps. -Kevin - Original Message - From: Shane [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help. Greetings fellow PHPers. I am learning basic GD functionality and I have a few YES/NO questions to ask. This should only take a few seconds of your time. PLEASE HELP! So far I have seen several tutorials on creating graphics on the fly. In each example the either send the image (by itself) to a browser (using the HEADER line) or they save it to a directory. Can I send an image to a browser along with other HTML and PHP information, or does my image have to be on it's own. If I want to send my image to a browser with other HTML do I have to save it to a file first? Does my directory that I am writing to have to have write permission set to TRUE for me to create an image file? and if it is NOT, will I get an error something like... Warning: imagejpeg: unable to open '/images/test.jpg' for writing! Can anyone show me a chunk of sample code or function that shows how I can embed my images created on the fly into my normal HTML files. As always, thanks in advance my friends. - NorthBayShane -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I never could figure it out, so I just had them save the files and they were recreated each time over the old ones.. Thank you thank you thank you! Rick Don't dismiss a good idea simply because you don't like the source. - Unknown From: Kevin Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 14:33:52 -0600 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.

RE: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.
Kevin... YOU RULE!!! A million billion Humble thanks! So simple, yet was such a pain to get past. I was racking my brain on that one! Man, if I could just buy you a beer online, I would. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! - NorthBayShane BUT...Does this mean I will need a separate PHP page for every graphic script? You would think there would be a way to call it from a function. (Thinking out loud now...) But I suppose I could send a variable along with my img src=getimage.php tag like img src=getimage.php?id=123 and then when the PHP code in getimage.php compares the variable passed to it's library of code snippets it would spit back the necessary image each time. H Is there a better way? -Original Message- From: Kevin Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 1:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.
