Hi, Just went online and saw an SVG generated from Python, and wanted to do the similar thing by loading the SVG into an PHP script. Here is the script that I have: <?php #Load the Map $ourFileName= "USA_Counties_with_FIPS_and_names.svg"; $fh = fopen($ourFileName, "r") or die("Can't open file"); fclose($fh); ?> The problem is that my screen appears as blank even though I could open up USA_Counties_with_FIPS_and_names.svg and see the entire US Map. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong here? Aren't you just opening the file? I think that you need to print it in some way suitable to your application. Try using fread() or other function to read the contents of the file. Well, I tried, and here is the complete code of the portion I just edited: #Load the Map $ourFileName= "USA_Counties_with_FIPS_and_names.svg"; $fh = fopen($ourFileName, "r") or die("Can't open file"); $contents = fread($fh,filesize($ourFileName)); echo $contents; fclose($fh); Now I get something on the screen, but still no image: image/svg+xml Um, is there anything particular I need to put in my code? Thanks in advance.
