PHP poll with image output

Hey, I'm staring a new project and i am trying to make an poll, which is fine, but what i need to do is have the results outputted into an image.

I havent been able to find anything like this on google so does anyone have any thoughts?

Cheers

PHP has an image library called the GD library. The PHP manual can get you started on this page here (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php) and this one here (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreate.php).

The easiest way is to simply make a graphic that is the height of your percentage bars.

Then echo out the width of the image as the percentage.


foreach ($results as $result) {
echo '<img src="bar.gif" width="'.$result['percentage'].'" />';
}
