I'm confused - do you want to edit the image or the HTML? Both *can* be done
with PHP of course, but it's a little more complex than being the answer in a
simple usenet post.

For starters, PHP is not a graphics editor, so you won't be editing graphics
"live" or "dynamically" with PHP. PHP is server-side, not client-side. PHP can
be used to create images with basic shapes and imported images when given
specific instructions, but not dynamically through a web interface ion the way
I interprete your question.

The obvious question is of course - why would it be done in PHP? Why not just
use graphics editor and upload it to the site. That's what they are for.
