Kevin... YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A million billion Humble thanks!

So simple, yet was such a pain to get past. I was racking my brain on that one!
Man, if I could just buy you a beer online, I would.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

BUT...Does this mean I will need a separate PHP page for every graphic script?
You would think there would be a way to call it from a function.

(Thinking out loud now...)
But I suppose I could send a variable along with my <img src="getimage.php"> tag like

<img src="getimage.php?id=123">

and then when the PHP code in getimage.php compares the variable passed to it's 
library of code snippets it would spit back the necessary image each time.

Hmmmmmmmm....
Is there a better way?

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.
