Image processing in functions.

[Roger]

I have script (main.php) that calls a secondary script (image.php)
that produces a graphic. The invocation in main.php is like this...

print "<img src=" . chr(34) . "image.php?opti on=$draw" . chr(34) . ">"

What I would like to do is incoporate all the code contained in
image.php into my main.php as a function. As it currently stands if I
do this, I get an error message saying that the headers already sent.
I've not quite got my head around this- any help would be gratefully
received.

Something in image.php is sending headers (most likely it'll be the
content-type for jpg or png or whatever) and so is main.php - without seeing
the output I can't determine what. If you tweak image.php so it produces a
file on the server but only returns the URL to it, you can link it out and
get all the page output produced by the main.php.

You mean that you want a script that can either output HTML or graphics,
don't you? It should be rather straightforward :

function graphic(){
// Print graphic
}

if($_GET['option']=='WHATEVER'){
graphic();
exit;
}else{
// Print HTML
}

You are probably mixing graphics and HTML in one single document.
