What is GD? :blink:

[Colin-uk Veteran]

GD is an image library for PHP sortof like an addon to allow online image manipulation in PHP

but i dont know what GB is to do with PHP :blink:

Not really that hard to put your IP in an image, but still not a bad guide :p

[cloakanddagger]

So how would I send the output of this script to a text file?

[Colin-uk Veteran]

use fopen to open a text file

and fwrite to write the text to the file

then use fclose to close the file :)

Too bad I dont have access to neowin's mysql db (read only access, nothing such as write)... I could display the last post and last registered member on my sig :)

You don't need access to a db to get that information into a sig. :)

Here is a VB Script that can get you the IP of the visitor :

<%

behindProxy = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")

proxy = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

if behindProxy = "" then

Response.Write "<p>Your IP address is: " & proxy & "</p>" & vbcrlf

else

Response.Write "<p>Your IP address is: " & behindProxy

Response.Write " and your proxy address is: " & proxy & "</p>" & vbcrlf

end If

%>

Give me a way of putting VB in PHP. PHP is a server side language, VB is a programming language. Two different things.

Getting the IP like that doesnt work for some people behind transparent proxys(me).

Try:

<?php

header ("Content-type: image/png");

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {

$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

}

else {

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

}

$img_handle = ImageCreate (500, 20) or die ("Cannot Create image");

$back_color = ImageColorAllocate ($img_handle, 255, 255, 255);

$txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($img_handle, 231, 43, 43);

ImageString ($img_handle, 31, 5, 5, "Your IP is $ip", $txt_color);

ImagePng ($img_handle);

?>

The only thing that Firefox has proved useful for is using the adblock to filter out all these crap dynamic signatures.

Thanks for that. That made me laugh, seriously.. I laughed hard.. :D

I'm hoping that GD's new support of animation will get added to PHP soon.

When it does, look for mine to be animated. I've already written most of the code, it's just a matter of PHP being able to handle it.

What about just using TTF fonts?

[aero77]

excellent guide!! :yes:

[Ultra Frosty]

Heheh. Simple GD stuff. Now learn how to use it for fun like my sig.

[Rablet]

Nice guide! Thanks!

As this thread is not officially dead yet:

how?

[Valerus]

awesome, thanks :)

OK, I read through this thread and picked up some useful material. Obviously I am going to have to get more acquainted with PHP to see what else I can do, but for simplicity's sake, How do I get a script to paste just normal items, such as pre-defined text?

Basically, my idea is to create a merge of the script that shows folks their IP address with the info in my sig below (well some of it - the thread count will go) and some *more* stuff. I have my own webspace to host the script, and as can be seen here, it works some:

This is the original script posted by Ares:

This is one that he had quoted in reply #13, which doesn't seem to work, btw:

When I load this directly in my browser I get:

The image ?http://s88013406.onlinehome.us/script1.php? cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

And this last is the one posted by timbernerslee:

Now, Can this method be used to paste that text as an overlay *over* another image, or added to an image, or what? I know, I know, n00b questions, but if I can learn to do this then I can learn to start making dynamic banners and such on my own - I know where to get a hold of images to to make my own, but the scripting is all new to me.

Anyone know how to have an existing image as the background, then float text and another image ontop of it..?

Edit**

Figured out how to use an existing image as a background, but cannot figure out how to float another image ontop!

i downloaded this:

http://s88013406.onlinehome.us/script2.php

it contains the following:

?PNG

is it encrypted?!

anyway it works!!

i hope i can make a sig like danasoft, anybody know how to add image and cool stuff to the php?

[Axon]

Its not encryption, its raw image data.

-Ax

[creamdust]

so why does the raw image data work? while this php code doesn't?

<br />

<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function ImageCreateFromPNG() in <b>c:\My Site\file.php</b> on line <b>5</b><br />

my PHP Version 5.0.3

i had PHP Version 5.0.1 before and it used not to show the image, now i can see the above error.

[j.r.l.]

ImageCreateFromPNG() is undefined, which means you do not have the GD library installed ;) You're using Windows so get the GD .dll and install it as a PHP module in php.ini ;)
