In that case could you point me to a web mailing list that actually has
people that use LDAP and the web together

the src= needs to be a url, which when that url is requested you get the
image from the server and send it back with print $content (+ the
appropriate headers)

But this is not the place to ask web-based questions. Now you know
how to get your content, you would be much better off asking this
question to a web mailing list.
