Thanks for the compliment on my function. I have since improved upon it...see below. I can do the exact same thing as you and get results, but what I can't do is show the image within an HTML table. I think it is something to do with the header line, but I dont know how to get around it. I've tried just calling the function like I have in the code below. I've also tried calling the function inside of <img> command. Both ways dont work. Check out the code if you can and let me know if you seen anything that I am doing wrong. Thanks <?php function makepie($slice, $total){ $height = 150; $width = 150; $im = ImageCreate($width, $height); $bck = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0); $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 0, 0); $blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 255); //imagefilledellipse($im, 75, 75, 125, 125, $red); //imageellipse($im, 75, 75, 125, 125, $black); //Making the Slice $pieslice = (($slice / $total) * 360) + 315; imagefilledarc($im, 75, 75, 125, 125, 315, $pieslice, $blue, IMG_ARC_PIE); imagefilledarc($im, 75, 75, 125, 125, 315, $pieslice, $black, IMG_ARC_NOFILL); imagefilledarc($im, 75, 75, 125, 125, $pieslice, 315, $red, IMG_ARC_PIE); imagefilledarc($im, 75, 75, 125, 125, $pieslice, 315, $black, IMG_ARC_NOFILL); //Return Header("Content-type: image/png"); ImagePNG($im); } echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' style='border-collapse: collapse' bordercolor='#111111' width='200' bgcolor='#FFD1A4'> <tr> <td width='100%' colspan='2' align='center'>This is a test<br>".makepie(20,200)."</td> </tr> </table>"; ?> "James Taylor" <james.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:20050215152739.24688.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Dude - that works fine! > > can you check your code - make sure you havnt got any white space at all > before the php starts in ANY file, and then check that you've got ALL > erros being reported (because you might have the error cant send headers, > output allready sent at line x) which will prenvent the header being sent > and then you dump the image to the screen which is the random wierd > characters (that means the image create functions are all ok and > installed, and you have an image object or similar). > > my code was simple <?php {your function} makepie(10,100); ?> NO WHITESPACE > NO BLANK LINES NOTHING. > > (ps you might even have a php include in the php file (php prepend or > something?) which might be inserting a space or a newline or ending > headers or something.
