File to Display image

So right now I'm working on some php so I can have <img src="http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3" /> that it will display the image based on the id. So far I have
[PHP]<?
$id = $_REQUEST['id'];
header('Content-Type: image/jpg');
echo file_get_contents("http://www.philbon.com/pictures/" . $id . ".jpg");
?>[/PHP]
When I go to http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3 it works just fine, but when i put the img tag in a webpage like: http://lucy.philbon.com it doesn't display the picture but instead just has spaces. I've tried it in both IE and FF and I get the same results. Can anyone help me out?
Here is the code for http://lucy.philbon.com:
[html]
Programming Forums: The image tag is right under this: 
<img src="http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3" />
[/html]

Could you give me some feedback as to what is present?
What is the title?
What is display? just a white page?
What does the source look like?
Are you pomted to download/save/open the file?
What browser are you using?
I think I might have to rethink this idea.

Nevermind... I will Work on it later

Worked for me once, but now it's not. Here's what I get from viewing the source:

Quote:

Warning: imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/philbon/public_html/getimage.php on line 4

And what gets rendered in the browser window is just the URL.

[edit:] That's on Firefox 1.5

Firefox 2.0 here:
Title :getimage.php
Content on screen : http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3
After some time : the download window apears.
Source code :

<HTML>

<body>

  <img alt="http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3" src="http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3">

</body>

</html>

Also with the webDeveloper extension from firefox, the view source option shows :

<br />

<b>Warning</b>:  imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in <b>/home/philbon/public_html/getimage.php</b> on line <b>4</b><br />

<? 
$path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/pictures/" . $_REQUEST['id'] . ".jpg";
header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); 
$fo = fopen($path, "r");
$img = fread($fo, filesize($path));
echo $img;
?>

You must use a relative filepath for the image; you cannot prefix it with a domain.

Why not cut out the middle man and do this:

[php]
echo "<img src=\"http://www.philbon.com/pictures/" . $id . ".jpg\">";
[/php]

btw, when coding in php, you don't need to worry about testing your php code on different browsers as php is server side only (unless you count php-gtk, but that's a different story). The only things you should be testing on different browsers is javascript/html/CSS etc...

That's not totally true. For example, older browsers will attempt to download a file with a .php extension, regardless of the headers you send.

You can use Apache to prevent this from happening: Rename getimage.php to getimage.jpg and upload a file named .htaccess to the same directory containing the following:

<Files getimage.jpg>

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

</Files>

This tells the server to treat getimage.jpg as a PHP file.

It works for me at this point (Safari on a Mac). I suggest using the .htaccess technique I suggested so that all browsers will treat the file as a jpeg.

Out of curiosity, DaWei, if you load lucy.philbon.com in your browser, are the inline images displayed, or do you receive the same download prompt?
