The question with these options is how can you specify what file you would
want or would this only work for one set image.  

I have never used php, so probably a very basic question.  Is it possible to
use a global function as part of a page?  rather than an included additional
page.  something that is central that you can pass parameters to from many
pages?  Or can an included page source it's info/parameters from the calling
page?  

Or is that what you mean that putting a <img src="header.pl"> is not the way
to do it in that the idea doesn't work? 

Thanks
Mark

Well that's not really the way it's done.

You could do something like:

<img src="<? if(ie){ $mypng; }else{ $mygif; } ?>">

or use it as an included php

<img src="<? include ("myfile.php"); ?>">

then do your checking in your included file.  It's been ages since I've used
PHP, so this may not be entirely correct.

You can't call a script like what you've shown since the page has been
processed already, it must be done while it's processing.

Thanks for your reply,

Of course I could use this method, I could even do this client-side using
JS.  My question is, can it be done so that you refer to a script as the src
of the image, and the script returns the correct image?

So, if I put <img src="header.pl">, it would display header.png or
header.gif, depending upon the browser.

I want something that would be nicely invisible, that would not require me
to chop up every page in a scripting language.
