Generate dynamic images alongwith other html data.

[Rithish]

I have a set of images on a server. I want to pick these from the
database without creating a

temporary file on the server; and also have some text alongwith it.

Something like,

ImageViewer.php
<?

print ( "<IMG SRC='GetImage.php?strImageId=1'>" );
print ( " some description about the image... " );

print ( "<IMG SRC='GetImage.php?strImageId=2'>" );
print ( " some description about the image... " );

....
....

?>

GetImage.php would server me with the image data from the database,
probably something like

this.
<?

.... Create database connection ...
.... Get image data from database depending on strImageId ...

header ( "Content-Type: Image/gif" );
print ( $image_data );

?>

GetImage.php gives the image alright.. ( I called
http://my_server.com/GetImage.php?strImageId=1

). However, what I want is a combination of both html and text.

Is it possible to acheive what I am trying to??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Rithish.

A php script can either return HTML or an Image, not both. You'll have
to have two scripts, one to generate the HTML <img> tag and caption and
one to generate the image.

Alternatively you could use the image library to write the text on top
of the image.

Try exclude you HTML tags from php-script like this
ImageViewer.php
<?php
.......
?>
<IMG SRC='GetImage.php?strImageId=1'>
<SPAN> some description about the image... </span>

<IMG SRC='GetImage.php?strImageId=2'>
<SPAN> some description about the image... </SPAN>
<?php
...
...

?>

By the way I have checked your variant and it works too. So if your script
doesn't work it happens due to another reason.
