PHP imagejpeg only works when saving the image

Question

I've got this strange situation going on. Imagejpeg is only working when I define a filename to which the image is going to be saved. The problem is that I don't want to save the image, I just want to show it.

This is my code:

header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');

$img    = imagecreatefromjpeg("./_test/test.jpg");
imagejpeg($img, null, 100);

That doesn't work, but if I just change the last line to:

imagejpeg($img, "./_test/blah.jpg", 100);

The image is being saved as it should be.

Doesn anyone have experiance with this problem and knows a solution?

Is your image script file stored as UTF8 instead of ANSI? If so, then that might be your problem. See this answer to an earlier similar question:
