Randomizing forum signatures.

Well, I was having a hard time picking a signature for my profile, then I thought, why not use all of them instead?

So, I present to you: My random signature ... thingie.

lol basically what it does is that it randomizes my signatures every time someone refreshes and displays a different one :).

(Example is in my signature).

If you want one then hit me up and I might make one for ya if I have some time over :), if a lot of people want this I might just make it an automated service (it's pretty easy so).


Here's the source code if anyone is interested, it's coded like crap since well, I made this script in what, 2 hours, parts of it are not written by me and parts are, (the functions in the end arent by me.)

The rest should be mine, not sure, old script lol.

Anyhow, as you can see you also need a table with the following columns: id, sig_refresh.

And that should be it lol.

Spoiler:

Very nice script, but how exactly do you use it on forums? I thought PHP and HTML was blocked?

@Mike: You use a simple Rewrite rule to change requests for the PNG/JPG to the PHP file, and the PHP file takes care of outputting the expected data stream (ie. an image).

I have something similar to this called "SigBawx" that a friend wrote. It allows people to submit messages that are displayed in someone else's signature, along with their name (like a chat box). I might fix it up and release the source here.

Well, I don't really do it that way above, check out the php script, then I just do a <img src="link-to-my.php"/>

I host that in a .php file, then just use that to link in the src="" of a <img :P

Obviously I don't use the <img tag, but u can embed pics here in your sigs, so I just input my link there :)

It replaces the PNG transparency with black, is there a workaround for that?
Disregard that, I suck at googling, here's the fix:

Add:

PHP Code:

---

imagealphablending($image, true);
imagesavealpha($image, true); 


---

after declaring the $image variable.

Added to first post :) didn't need alpha channel so didn't even care about it ^^ but useful for some people!

question?

is this your first attempt at the GD library?

EDIT:
sorry couldnt resist

Holthelper: well I never needed it before so never had to use it :p so yes this is the first time i use it, I know its messy, thats cus i took this directly from another project I had made :) made it in like 2h so :p

And, so basically what you did was reorganize my code, clean it up, and made a switch case, okay. Anyhow.

@hotlhelper: Instead of coming here, asking if this is the first time someone has used a certain library before (that is a blatant underlying insult), then posting modified code and claiming that you "couldn't resist" (pretty smug, don't you think?), how about you point things out and GENUINELY try to help, without acting like you're better and trying to insinuate that Justei is somehow of lesser intelligence?

im not insulting him at all, i know he can code better then that. so when i saw this messy code i had to clean it.

idk about you but i have sorta OCD so it just bugged the sh*t out of me that it was really messy and redundant.

ive been messing with the GD library from some time now as you can tell from my sig

Damn! Yamachi!!!

I Just Saw Your Siggy... And Boy Do i LOL'd Too Much!!! :junglejane:

Sorry, For The Off Topic! But Thanks For This Randmizing Sig. That i Just Saw...

oh Justei, there is one problem, users browser cache ~ :P
(or do browser detect its a script and force reloading everytime? ._o)
