Question

Possible Duplicates:
Want to render an image without saving it to disk using PHP GD libs
The image cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

I’d like to call a function that make a image trought the img src tag. Is it possible?

I mean : instead of call <img src="path/file.php" /> I’d like to do somethings like <img src="function()" />

PHP is server side; It can generate either a base64_encoded image result which can be placed as an image, or you can point to a php script that will generate an image. But, regarding client side, it won’t work.

So, you could do the following:

// the browser will make a call to your generator to render an image back
echo '<img src="myimagegenerator.php" />';

// src will be something like "data:image/png;base64,..."
echo '<img src="'.generateImage().'" />';
