I'm using < img src="logo.php" > to call a php page that writes some stuff to the database before displaying the actual gif image. Let's call this VERSION 1
On any given page, the code looks like this:
<a href="http://www.abc.com">
<img alt="Hi" src="http://www.abc.com/logo.php"/></a>
Then, logo.php looks like this:
// first update a database table with some relevant info
// then, output the logo image
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
echo file_get_contents("/path/to/image/logo.gif");
It's working great, (thanks to the answers i rec'd here: Stack Question Answered
Now, I'm trying to create a second option that does the exact same thing, except it displays some html as well as the image. Let's call this VERSION 2
On any given page, the code looks like this:
<a href="http://www.abc.com">
<img alt="Hi" src="http://www.abc.com/logo_html.php"/></a>
I want this other file, "logo_html.php" to output something like this
<p>Hello World</p>
<p>Some More html</p>
<img alt="Hi" src="http://www.abc.com/logo.gif"/>
I tried to change the 'echo file_get_contents' file to a php file with a simple < p>Hello World< /p>, but nothing shows up (just the X that you get when the browser can't find the image.
If this is my "logo_html.php" file, and I change it to this, then put some text in myfile.php, I also get no results.
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
echo file_get_contents("/path/to/file/myfile.php");
What do I need to change in my logo_html.php file to be able to bring up and display the image, plus some additional html?
Thanks in advance as always!
