This thread is for discussions of Image Generation on the FLY using PHP.

i want to display an image on a  form when an item is selected from a ComboBox. the image will be stored on the a:\drive (floppy). there will be multiple items in the combobox, each 1 relating to a specific picture. i just need the  basic code to get the img to appear after selecting the item from the combobox. if n e 1 could email me the  code or tell me where to  get  it, that would be  great! oz_utester@hotmail.com

To my knowledge it is not possible to send an image created on-the-fly using PHP without the content-type header being modified. Why do you not want to use the "Header("Content-Type: Image/jpg")" code?

I think your posting in the wrong place buddy! this is for creating and showing PHP images on-the-fly not VB! If you DO really want to take a PHP created image and put it in a VB form you can either post back here or email me at webmaster@isgeeky.com

hi:

I copied your code to my PHP4.3.x+Windows2000Server+Apache2, The picture does not show at a browser, only white page.  I checked the sapce befor the "<?php"  carefully.

In fact, befor I have a similar bad experience that I can't show picture at my machine. But If I put the code to a linux machine , it works. The situation is all my other php codes, including session,mysql, work fine. Only for this method, header(header("Content-type:image/jpeg"), the send out a image, it does not work.

I guess there must be some setting parameters problem at apache2. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks

very well-written & useful javascript:smilie('')

I used the script it was good. The random script is accessed as an image in another script, then how to access the number displayed on the image so that i can check that the user entered the correct displayed number.

after installing the gd.dll am i suppose to uncomment it in the php.ini file and if so do i restart my server to get it to load??? after putting it in my php.ini file and uncommenting it nothing came up? can you give me more detial instructions on fixing this  problem or installing this gd.dll? i am using windows xp iis5 and php5 just got it all working and jumping in for soome more, lol, well hope you can help .... altimastr

Very good tutorial and useful. But am wondering, if it can be converted to be used as a counter in a website, to get the number of visitors to the site. It will then start from a certain number and count sequencially upwards. It could start from 1 or 10.

Thanks

Hi

I saw them using a image-on-the-fly script as (at www.worldspaceasia.com):
<a href="modules.php?name=Content&pa=list_pages_categories&cid=2"><img src="includes/img.php?title=Western Classical/Jazz&textsize=8&border=1&imgype=randomTTF" border="0" alt="Western Classical/Jazz"></a>

The :
title=
imgype=randomTTF

are crucial!

So whts the secret of the img.php?
