Image_Barcode

[jpbarber]

I'm not having much luck, creating barcodes on a HTML page
using:
<?php
require_once("/usr/local/lib/php/Image/Barcode/Code39.php");
$bc = new Image_Barcode;
$code = "123456789";
$bc->draw($code, "Code39", "jpg");
//$bc = new Image_Barcode_Code39('',2,4);
//$bc->draw('123456', 'jpg', false, 120);
?>
The last 2 lines give me nothing (hence commented out), the current code gives me I think the binary for the image:
ÿØÿàJFIF

Etc:

Anyone got any ideas? or a better way of doing barcodes in php

Your require_once call is wrong. You'll run sooner or later into problems with PEAR packages if you don't adjust your include_path setting.

Apart from this issue, I don't see the problem with your code? Are you aware that you need an <img> tag in your HTML page that references the PHP script in the "src" attribute?

The path is set by our hosting company but we are having a dedicated server build. I don't understand what you mean so could you explain about the path then I can tell our hosting company so they can get it right on our new server?

Also please could you give me a quick example of the img tag

Many thanks
