Include PHP code in html error

Question

Am working with an small php project . in creating an text generating image. took some sample codes and tired.

    <?php

$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  'A Simple Text String', $text_color);


header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');

imagejpeg($im);

imagedestroy($im);
?>

i made some changes and it works good . when i tried to insert this php file in other html file using it results broken image. how can i solve this why it happens.

Get rid of the spaces before the <?php. Also, if that doesn't work, comment out the header line and paste any errors you're getting here. — jeremy

This script renders an image. You can't just insert it into HTML, short of base-64 encoding the image data. Also, see Rekire's answer. — Brad

Please make sure that you don't have any whitespace before your <?php statment. In your example above there are 4 spaced before the <?php. Note that this also is important for empty lines.

In addition, a closing ?> tag is unnecessary in scripts that are entirely PHP. This will prevent empty lines at the end of the script from affecting things.

You can't have the same page being both HTML and an image. The way you do what you want is by having the HTML file contain an IMG tag that references this script.

<img src="yourscript.php">

An HTML file cannot have multiple header sections. Once you have rendered content on the page the call to header() will generate an error.
