Images created with PHP are not displayed - php

Question

I am working to a banner generator. All code works perfectly if I access : banner.php?id=<ID>. I'm working on localhost so, I know, if I want to see this image that I've created, I must write:
<img src="http://localhost/banner.php?id=<ID>" />
I can see image ONLY if I access direct link. Why I can't see it if I add it into <img> tag? I thought is because I use cURL to get some variables, but no.

Answer 1

This section is wrong
<img src="http://localhost/banner.php?id=<ID>" />
It should be
<img src="http://localhost/path to your image" />
If you have done it for, onclick go to some page,
then it should be
<a href="http://localhost/banner.php?id=<ID>">
<img src="http://localhost/path to your image" />
</a>

Answer 2

Can you show us your code? Which graphics library do you use? I had no problems using GD2 on my local computer.
E.g.
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$img = imagecreate(256, 256);
$background = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 0);
$color = imagecolorallocate($img, $_GET['red'], $_GET['blue'], $_GET['green']);
imagearc($img, 128, 128, 64, 64, 0, 0, $color);
imagepng($img);
?>
And in the HTML file then:
<img src="img.php?red=255&blue=0&green=0" />
Worked for me...

Answer 3

When i had changed file name "banner.php" to other name, ex: 'counter.php', ...
The same code is working fine. I don't know what's cause of file name with name = "banner" produced this error
