Tried all solution but failed to display an image

I thought that displaying image in PHP was easy; but i am having a lot of problem simply displaying a gif file.

The code is here:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$img = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gps1\mumbai.gif";
$im = imagecreatefromgif ($img);
header( 'Content-type: image/gif' );
imagegif($im);
?>
</body>
</html>

I don't know what is the problem.
I have saved the text file in ANSI format.
Also, I have tried various changes in php.ini file but the error that headers already sent out was only solved when output_buffer was ON.

Also, the php_gd2.dll extension is enabled.

In the IE 6 , i get the whole image as garbled like
GIF87SASDFSAF.......

Something like this.

I have tried in other browsers like netscape and Firefox.

Also, please note I am using IIS 5 server.

Please can any one help.

Code: Select all
<html> <head> </head> <body> <?php $img = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gps1\mumbai.gif"; $im = imagecreatefromgif ($img); header( 'Content-type: image/gif' ); imagegif($im); ?> </body> </html>

you can't do both (displaying HTML and rendering image) in a single page...
you have to do... image display ie content-type: image/png
in a different page.
and then call that page in img tag

Code: Select all: <img src="image.php?id=someid" />
