Shane, absolutely you can mix HTML and dynamically generated images. You'll actually call the image in passively via an <img> tag like this...
<img src="getimage.php"> getimage.php will echo the appropriate image header (Content-type: image/png or whatever) plus your image grabbing/generating code which you will simply output to the browser. Deceptively easy, yes? :) Hope this helps. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help. > Greetings fellow PHPers. > > I am learning basic GD functionality and I have a few YES/NO questions to ask. > This should only take a few seconds of your time.
