A nice winamp plugin, that puts the currently playing songtitle into a pic, so that it can be used as a signature in forums, brought me on this idea, after i wanted to create a random signature when winamp is off. Author: http://www.matttt.nl/ Winamp Plugin: http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=133663 the following part doesn't require the plugin, just a 'sig.txt' with the random signatures you want to be displayed <?php header ("Content-type: image/png"); /* default signature, if you want to use it. * i use it, to be displayed more often than * the random ones (change below), * or if something went wrong with the file */ $standartsig = 'My Standart Sig'; //file with your random sigs, one per line $sigfile = 'sig.txt'; //display standart sig? - change at will if (rand(0,10) <= 4) { $tmp = $standartsig;} else { //get a random line, to use as signature if (file_exists($sigfile)) { $array = file($sigfile); $anzahl = count($array) - 1; $tmp = trim($array[rand(0,$anzahl)]); if (strlen($tmp) <= 1) {$tmp = $standartsig;} //line not empty? } else {$tmp = $standartsig;} } /* create Picture -- or use echo($tmp); * but don't forget to change or remove the "header()" then */ $im = imagecreate (6*strlen($tmp),14); $background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255); $background_color = imagecolortransparent($im,$background_color); $text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0); imagestring ($im, 2, 0, 0, $tmp, $text_color); imagepng ($im); ?> if anyone has a better idea of how to create a transparent background, feel free to email me (just remove ".NOSPAM") ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38744 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38744&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38744&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
