the getX and getY calls were from a suggested post i'd come across with
someone else having problems with image(). i put in hard coded values but to
no avail.

yeah, there's a width and height param that are optional. i've hard coded
both, either, and none. still blank space.

yeah, i've tried that too...very frustrating.

surprisingly less than what i expected...especially since looking at the
source, just getting it up to *some* kind of *good* coding style is a
hurculean task. ;^) anyway, everything i have works with the exception of
image(). it's my first time to generate pdf's in this way and i'm
prototyping reporting functions with pdf output.
before, we'd cheat. we had a pdf print driver on the server and just capture
the normal html and pipe it to the driver to file, and then show/email/etc.
the file. not an option this time.
anyway, thanks for your help.
