The issue here is that the PHP script that generates an image
dynamically cannot generate HTML and vice versa. I would guess that
the script that receives data from the Flash application generates
some HTML, so it cannot generate the image. You need to do one of the
following:

1. Write the JPEG image to disk and generate HTML with <img> tag
pointing to the newly created file.

2. Pass the JPEG image data to another script, which will render
it as image. Given the relatively large chunk of data that
needs to be passed, consider using a session variable.
