Now it makes sense. right, just track down where you started sending the output, and remember if youre going to use header() calls in your scripts, that all of them must come before sending any of the standard content. > Let me just repeat what you have said just to make sure that I did not > misread you. > So you say that the solution to this problem is to create another php file > with the image fetching header and just write an img tag <img > src="myimagescript.php?id=1234" /> in my original php file (with the html > tags). what i explained in my first response is that youre mixing 2 different approaches, and it was unclear what you were going for exactly. if you want to have an image included in a page of html, then theres no need for the header() call (refer to my first response for the remaining details). there are however legitimate use cases for the use of header() & the aforementioned image methods, i think between mine and some of the other posts on this thread, its explained clearly. > This is what I have understood. > Regarding the point you have mentioned ( If you set the content type using > header() to "image/jpeg", do not use HTML tags to display your image!), correct > I definitely need the HTML tags, because this application works based on > the user input.
