I got it figured out finally!
It is so stupid with what the issue was...
My image was being created exactly as it should have been - and the
code was fine. Now where my issue was: I had a line of code in there
that was to prevent people from calling the script directly (had to be
referred from a particular page). Well IE did not like that for
printing. Even though the script acted exactly as it should have by
design. I saved the image to my desktop to test it, and when opening in
an image app - it would not even open (even though displaying fine in a
browser). So I changed the file ext of the downloaded file to that of a
text file and opened it... and what do you know - there was the error
my php script generates when the page is not called properly.
So I removed that line of code (completely irrelevant to the image
itself) And win/IE could print like all the other browsers could.
doh!

You'd want to http://php.net/urlencode the text, then.

$text = This is an example!;
$text_url = urlencode($text);

One thing I feel is important to point out before I keep banging my
head off of the wall here...
In the URL parameter that is sent to the file, the url parameter is
just carrying text that is printed into the image. It is not actually
the image name, or anything. The image is generated in the cstl file
(which actually is the image - sends JPEG headers,etc) - with the text
on it (grabbed from the URL parameter).

Yup.
$_PATH['x'] for the items that look like this: .../x=42/
And $PATH (without the underscore) is a string concatenation of all
elements (after the PHP script) that look like this /whatever/
So you might use something like a PHP script named 'scale' and then:
http://example.com/scale/width=100/height=100/images/subdir/
bigpic.jpg
and then you know that you want to scale the image in your
images/subdir
naemd bigpic.jpg down to 100x100 at maximum.
You'll have:
$_PATH['width'] - 100
$_PATH['height'] - 100
$PATH = '/images/subdir/bigpic.jpg'

And then all I should have to do is change my $_REQUESTS to $PATH in
hte cstl file right?

hey - thanks a lot for the code snip - I am trying to use it
now
Just to confirm - the $path include file is included in the file
that
calls the cstl file - correct?
Yes.
Something like:
?php require 'pathinfo.inc'; ?
You can use this same technique for not just JPEG, but also PDF,
SWF
(Ming) and FDF files, all of which Microsoft will screw up if you
don't
fool them with a URL that looks like static content.

Hi there - I had my first crack at creating a dynamic image. The
thing
is - the image is displayed fine in the browser, but when you go
to
print it, the image is either missing, or part of it is missing.
Is
there something special needed to print a dynamic image?
What you did, *should* work just fine.
But we're talking *MICROSOFT* here!
These people do *NOT* follow standards. Period.
Here is a code snippet used
