Odd, I have the ability to load an image URL and right-click anywhere in the browser page that is not part of the image and get a popup menu with 'View Source'. Of course I run Firefox. You need to see the response that you are getting at your URL. You can use a variety of methods to do this. if you have curl or wget on your machine you could try those. You may also have something in your server log files.
From past experience, I usually get this message when PHP emits a warning
before my image is output. So, your browser expects data that will be GIF and you send it some text then a GIF. Fast test, change the content-type header to 'text/plain' and you'll get the output in your browser. Lee On 12/26/06, Don Reeves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
