I have a cgi-script that needs to generate a batch of images and insert them into the HTML. I am currently doing this using a "helper" script that does the generation for each image and the call to this script and parameters are in an img tag. However, if I submit this page to the server, several of the images are not created and show up as missing images, but some do show up (different each submission). What I would really like to do is to generate all of the images with one run of a script and insert them that way. I could do this with temporary files, but each call has the potential to make several tens of files, with multiple calls in a row (depending on user direction). Is there a way that I can do this, either without temporary files or, if with temp files, some direction about how to keep the files manageable?
Thanks, Sean
