Dynamic display image along with text in same webpage
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 5:46 am
Hi,
I am new to this form and also PHP, don't know if this is the right place to post my queries, but please help me with my problem if possible
Setup Details:
I have set up GD sitting on php, and having mysql as my database.
The whole thing is running on apache.
Issue
I would like to display some text along with a table (the data will come from mysql), and also a graph (pie chart or bar chart, using GD) in the same webpage.
Every user who logs in has different data and hence different graphs.
Right now i am creating a image file in server (jpeg/png doesn't really matter) and then displaying the image. The code is as shown below.
Imagejpeg($handle,"report.jpeg",100);
imagedestroy($handle);
echo "<img src='report.jpeg'><p></p>";
................................
?>
This above code creates a image file in the server and as there are many users i can not afford to create and store the image for all the users.
If i try to display image dynamically(without actullay creating a image file) i am seeing junk caracters. The issue may be related to content-type in a page.
Now, I would like to know if there is any way that i can display the image without actually creating a file in server.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
