Question

The call to Stroke() function in pChart renders an Image. When I try to display this image on the browser, it shows something like the following instead of showing an image. How can I display the image instead of these wierd characters?

Answer 1

If you are outputting the image directly from a call to a PHP script, such as <img src="yourscript.php" /> then you're going to need to send the correct Content-Type header:

header('Content-Length: '.filesize($yourimage));
header('Content-Type: image/png');

Note that any calls to header() must occur before output is started.
