Hi everybody,
I have a specific problem, and cant get over it.
For my latest project I need a simple PHP script that display an image according to its ID sent through URL. Here's the code:
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$img = $_GET["img"];
echo  file_get_contents("http://www.somesite.hr/images/$img");
The problem is that the image doesn't show although the browser recognizes it (i can see it in the page title), instead I get the image URL printed out.
It doesn't work neither on a server with remote access allowed nor with one without. Also, nothing is printed or echoed before the header.
I wonder if it is a content type error, or something else. Thanks in advance.
