PHP: how to output to browser a png image from disk?
<p>I've a file on a folder on disk I don't want to be visible from web browser</p>

<p>So i create an image.php file that take a file name and must 'do echo' to browser of the image.</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<p>mysite.com/image.php?name=selection.png</p>

<p>must show an image to the user into the browser.</p>

<p>Actually browser ask me to save.
I want to show it, not do ask to download...</p>

<p>i'm using this snippet</p>

<pre><code>header("Content-Type: image/png");
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($full_file_name));
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename='$image'");
readfile($full_file_name);
exit(0);
</code></pre>

<p>if saved and opened, img is perfect. How to NOT ask to download it?</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<ul>
<li>Yes, i need something to use into image tag</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Most of you are replying to my question telling me about image creation, but my question is all about different mode to tell to browser to show something and to ask to user to save something.
NO MORE REPLY ABOUT IMAGE CREATION - YOU'RE OFF-TOPIC !</em> </p>

<p><em>Probably my question, my title, is not clear</em>, but my question is simple:</p>

<p><strong>- How to tell to browser to SHOW an image insted to ask user to save it</strong></p>

<p>Image creation is working</p>

<p>Image usage via imag src is working</p>

<p>**But when user clicks on image, a new tab is opened with the images src as link, because I need to show full size image into browser.
In this situation browser ask me to save ! </p>

<p>EDIT: </p>

<p>Removing</p>

<pre><code>header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename='$image'");
</code></pre>

<p>doesn't change Firefox behaviour</p>
