Why not? This seems like a rather daft limitation.
I suppose I could get this result by writing a function that generates
the right image by drawing it from scratch. But that way I can't have
any photos.
My question: Is there any way to include an entire jpg/gif/png into a
php file? So that when i call ?pic=myphoto it can present the right
photo without a database or additional files. Like a serialized form of
an image or something that can be copied, saved in a text editor and
later reassembled as a proper photo.
You could base64_encode the image data and stick it in a string.
However, by doing this you will be causing huge memory usage whenever
teh script is used because PHP will allocate the memory required for
each embedded image even when you are only going to use one.
Put simply, it's a rediculous way to approach the problem. I suggest you
explain why there is this restriction - there may be a better way to do it.
