php get image from url

Question

I need to create a php file that return a JPEG image. I wrote this code but it doesn't work:

<?php
header('Content-type: image/jpeg;');
$p = 'http://....file.jpeg';
$a = file_get_contents('$p');
echo $a;
?>

What's wrong? I think that it is too simple

You could simply use a <img> tag.

 <?php 
    $src = 'file.jpeg';
 ?>

 <img src='<?php echo $src ?>'>

If this is not the functionality you looking for take a look at how to Show image using file_get_contents.

remove the single quotes:

<?php
header('Content-type: image/jpeg;');
$p = 'http://....file.jpeg';
$a = file_get_contents($p);
echo $a;
?>

Still don't work. Do I must set any permission to file? Right now is 755 – img.simone Jun 04 '16 at 15:35
It works perfectly fine. I just checked. That must be something else not working in your case. – Jakub Matczak Jun 04 '16 at 15:38
You have the file on disk? Then don't put a url in `$p`, but the local path. (if that is what you are doing). Hard to debug code if we don't know what the error is... – DoppyNL Jun 04 '16 at 15:39
The file is into a server. How do retrieve any error? – img.simone Jun 04 '16 at 15:41
What is the output of `file_get_contents` ? What is not working? – DoppyNL Jun 04 '16 at 15:42
How do I check the value of file_get_contents? I start the php file from the server but the browser page is blank – img.simone Jun 04 '16 at 15:45
