My scenario is that I am trying to put an image on a page using php not on my server, that does not have php. I am using the tag <img src=/old?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmyserver.com%2Fasdf.php3%26gt&y=1999 and asdf will a) read an image b) set a header("Content-type: image/gif") and c) echo the image. That works fine. The problem is that I also wanted to include a link based on the image (ie - dynamic, involving php). After I set the header, regular tags are ignored and I can't echo anything before a header, nor can I set a different header. SO my question is, does anyone know a workaround to this problem: like displaying an image on a non-server page, without setting a header, or a way to dynamical reference something? Any help is greatly appreciated and if you think you might be able to help, but don't understand my situation or need clarification, contact me. PS - If it can't be done with PHP, can it be done with any other language anyone knows of? |

I see how you can set header, and send an image .. i dont understand what you mean by creating dynamic stuff ?..do you want to send an image with a text link ? .. elaborate please... how bout an HTML example of what you want to come and what your PHP script is ... regards, |

What I'm doing is using MySQL database to grab both the url for the image I want to grab and to grab a url for the link i want that image to be referenced to. my code goes something like this (psuedo-code) get image from mysql What doesn't work is the href, because of the header. Thanks for responding and hopefully u can help. |
