   Hi
   

   
   I saw them using a image-on-the-fly script as (at www.worldspaceasia.com):
   <a href="modules.php?name=Content&pa=listpagescategories&cid=2"><img src="includes/img.php?title=Western Classical/Jazz&textsize=8&border=1&imgype=randomTTF" border="0" alt="Western Classical/Jazz"></a>
   

   
   The :
   title=
   imgype=randomTTF
   

   
   are crucial!
   

   
   So whts the secret of the img.php?
   

   
   Regards

   Very good tutorial and useful. But am wondering, if it can be converted to be used as a counter in a website, to get the number of visitors to the site. It will then start from a certain number and count sequencially upwards. It could start from 1 or 10.
   

   
   Thanks

   I used the script it was good. The random script is accessed as an image in another script, then how to access the number displayed on the image so that i can check that the user entered the correct displayed number.

   hi:
   

   
   I copied your code to my PHP4.3.x+Windows2000Server+Apache2, The picture does not show at a browser, only white page.  I checked the sapce befor the "<?php"  carefully.
   

   
   In fact, befor I have a similar bad experience that I can't show picture at my machine. But If I put the code to a linux machine , it works. The situation is all my other php codes, including session,mysql, work fine. Only for this method, header(header("Content-type:image/jpeg"), the send out a image, it does not work.
   

   
   I guess there must be some setting parameters problem at apache2. Does anyone have any idea?
   

   
   Thanks

   I think your posting in the wrong place buddy! this is for creating and showing PHP images on-the-fly not VB! If you DO really want to take a PHP created image and put it in a VB form you can either post back here or email me at webmaster@isgeeky.com

    To my knowledge it is not possible to send an image created on-the-fly using PHP without the content-type header being modified. Why do you not want to use the "Header("Content-Type: Image/jpg")" code?
