John,
Thank you.

Such as this?
......................................

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<BODY>
This is a test.
<BR>
<IMG SRC="http://localhost/Map.php";>
</BODY>
</HTML>
..........................................

The output now has both the map and the text.

However - being a novice - I'm not sure of:

> 1. You're not sending an image/jpg header() in your image file. The
> browser won't know what kind of data it's receiving.

and

> 3. Why not just set a *cron* script to run a program to copy the image to
> your machine every X minutes. Then you can just reference it like any
> other image. With the setup you have now, you're going to be using a lot

..........................
Many thanks for your time,
