i want to be able to refer to an image on the INSIDE of a php file.

like this:

<img src=".?img=file.gif">

But. when i mean the INSIDE i mean the image data is literally included in the file, i know this is possible because ive seen it done in the c99 shell. i wasn't able to figure out exactly how they did it because the code is so complex

Use the header function to set the MIME type to the image type you are using, then print the file content using fopen and related functions.
