PHP header ('Content-Type: image/png')

I have a problem with header in php.

I havet this simple code.

<?php
header ('Content-Type: image/png');
$im = @imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20)
      or die('Cannot Initialize new GD image stream');
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  'A Simple Text String', $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

I think it should works fine, but it didn't. There is no error, and in top-left corner of my browser a little crashed picture icon shows up.

I think header is the problem.

other useful infos: PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 GD Support enabled GD Version 2.0 FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype FreeType Version 2.4.8

UPDATE In IE even if i have header, i got bunch of data...

The correct (tested) PHP code for obtaining and returning a favicon (just change the MIME content type for other images) is:

$c = file_get_contents($path,true);
$size = filesize($path);
header ('Content-Type: image/x-icon');
header ("Content-length: $size");
echo $c;
exit;

When I tried, my problem was I didn't have the gd library. Once installed and set up, it worked fine.

For draw image in browser its have to send two headers before the main image data. First it is type of the data

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

and second it is data length. Without that header browser will be not know where the data ended. 

header("Content-length: $size");   //$size image file size in bytes

need check php file have not any spaces and new lines before <?php and no php output before headers and image data output.

Try with:

header ('Content-type: image/png');

instead of

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

And check the file encoding. It has to be ANSI.

Your problem is path of folder Create a folder for image

for example.: barla

After change your header header("Content-type: barla/image/png");

Your problem will solve

The "little crashed picture" indicates that the image is invalid. Since your code to generate it seems valid, you must have a PHP error in there.

Comment out the header line, see what you get. If you get something that starts with PNG followed by a bunch of data, then you have a successful PNG image and you can uncomment the header line to see it. Otherwise, you may see a PHP error.
