I am wondering why the characters in the image that is generated by this script does dont match the characters set for the session. I can't find why this is, if someone could help, that would be great. Thanks, Lea.

header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($img_handle,NULL,100);
imagedestroy($img_handle);
session_start();
$_SESSION['img_number'] = $str;
UPDATE: Upon testing I have noted that the first time the image is loaded, the session DOES NOT get set, so that when the image is refreshed, the session is set with the last $str value
You may have problems calling session_start() if your headers are already sent.
Change
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($img_handle,NULL,100);
imagedestroy($img_handle);
session_start();
$_SESSION['img_number'] = $str;
To
session_start();
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($img_handle,NULL,100);
imagedestroy($img_handle);
$_SESSION['img_number'] = $str;
If you debug your script with something like firebug or devtools, then it calls your image twice.
Try to disable your firebug/devtools and you will see the PROFIT.
