How to run php script in png/jpg extension

Question

How can i edit .htaccess file to make client run php script, but in png/jpg extension. Soo... User will visit url

http://example.com/script.png and he will see "test"(php script will return this value), not image. That's what i already did: .htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .png

script.png file:

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
echo 'test';
?>

What is wrong with this code? Why it doesn't work? Browser tries to download the image :/

Solution

Add the following line to your .htaccess file

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .png

This tells the server to process all files ending with .png as .php.

what do you mean? "image on the directory"? @Starkeen

I think the problem is with your script.png file, as other users have already suggested in their comments you are using wrong Content type, change the content type to text/html , or remove this, You have already told your server to read png as php

If the directory / virtual host is set to AllowOverride None, the settings in .htaccess will not be working.
