Yii Framework, path to custom PHP file

Question

I'm using Yii Framework and I have custom .php file with header('Content-type: image/png'); Actually it returns an image.
I want in my view see that image this way:

<img src="path/to/custom/image.php"/>

Where should I put my custom php file? And how I should set it's path?

Why don't you put this code in a controller action ??

Relative to your controller, example: ../../images/file.php, or you can do this:

<img src="<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/images/file.php"/>

In this way, the file must be accesible from outside.

Just to clarify, you shouldn't call this from your controller, but from your view.

If you are going to call it from a view and the image comes from a controller action you should use 'controller/action' url format using createUrl() from CController: yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CController#createUrl-detail

yeap, I've edited my question, not from controller but from view.
