Brian,

I actually set the 'Content-Type' to 'image/png' and 'image/x-png' while
testing and realized that
the '<IMG>' tag took care of the content type weather it was set to
test/html or image/png.

Why am I using PHP and Java.  Liferay is a Java Portal and it is very good,
I do not know of
something like it written in PHP.  Liferay allows you to create portlets
using the
QUERCUS tecnology, which converts PHP code to Java byte code.

I have created a couple of portlets and they work.  My problem at this
moment is that the portlet
I have develop works to the point that the pie chart file is created as a
PNG but I am having problem
displaying it as a graph and it displays as binary.  The php file works if I
run it from my apache server
but it displays binary if I run it from within the Liferay portal.

Thanks,

Nestor :-)
