Question

Am working with an small php project . in creating an text generating image. took some sample codes and tired.

    <?php

$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  'A Simple Text String', $text_color);


header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');

imagejpeg($im);

imagedestroy($im);
?>

i made some changes and it works good . when i tried to insert this php file in other html file using it results broken image. how can i solve this why it happens.

Answer 1

You can’t have the same page being both HTML and an image. The way you do what you want is by having the HTML file contain an IMG tag that references this script.

<img src="yourscript.php">
