[Phpwm] displaying images on screen

[BinaryKitten]

You will probably need to use a secondary script for the image 
processing.. as an image is an additional request to the server. you can 
put the image handling code inside it's own php script and use that in 
the <img> tag eg: <img src="myphp.php" />  that php file will then have 
the header etc and output the image .. .. yes as "Text" but that's just 
a textual representation of the coding for the image, thus when you 
specify the right header for it, the browser will display it as an image.
