sigs

[Retroactive]

hey, im just wondering: how do you get your sig to change each time you post? i've seen Hamma's and Corrosion's and they both look cool. is it a php thingy i've been hearing about? thanks

[eXoSloth]

Holy crap, we should just stickey this.


<?php
//read folder
$folder=opendir("." );

$names = Array();

while ($file = readdir($folder))
$names[count($names)] = $file;

closedir($folder);

//sort file names in array
sort($names);

//remove any non-images from array
$tempvar = 0;
foreach ($names as $name)
{
$ext = strtolower(substr($name,-4));
if ($ext==".jpg"||$ext==".gif"||$ext=="jpeg"||$ext==".png" )
$names1[] = $name;
}
//random
srand ((double) microtime() * 10000000);
$rand_keys = array_rand ($names1, 2);
//random image from array
$slika = $names1[$rand_keys[0]];
//image dimensions
$dimensions = GetImageSize($slika);
header ("Location: http://s90801493.onlinehome.us/exo/$slika" )
?>


There is the script. Open it up wordpad and copy/paste it in. Change 'http://s90801493.onlinehome.us/exo/' to whatever folder you want to put all your sigs and this script in. Save the entire thing as something.php. Upload it to the folder you put in your script. Make sure your server is a PHP capable server. Then just put the path to the PHP script between some image tags in your sig and you're done.

BTW if you're having trouble finding a server try www.1and1.com

Edit: Fixed my code tags :rolleyes:

[Retroactive]

<?php

while ($file = readdir($folder))
$names[count($names)] = $file;

closedir($folder);

//sort file names in array

//image dimensions
$dimensions = GetImageSize($slika);
header ("Location: http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Sigs/$slika" )
?>


That is the script, if your a PHP noobie copy paste all that code into Notepad, change the http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Sigs/$slika to the appropriate directory and on the "Save As" drop down box select "All Files" and save as sigs.php

Upload to the directory defined in the .php script (the part you edited) and then upload all images you want to that directory (script supports .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp). Then take the URL (in my case http://staff.planetside-universe.com/squeeky/Sigs/squeeky.php) and paste it with [img] tags in your sig. Viola!


Goodluck.

I've answered numerous PM's, and posted this in countless threads. Can we atleast add the above to a FAQ

[321]

I tried what it says and put a link like yours but now I see that your link doesn't work as well.

[eXoSloth]

Mine doesn't work because the real link to mine is http://s90801493.onlinehome.us/exo.gif, which is actually a folder, but I didn't want to confuse people :)

[Corrosion]

Just updated my sig with random smilie at the bottom.

[321]

With my link you just get a apache web server thing with all the files in the folder shown and if I put it as a signature it is just a :withx:

[Corrosion]

esplain.

[dscytherulez]

Yeah, when I used hostultra all i got was an x. It seems that they don't allow you to access the pics outside of the main page, those bastards...! I couldn't find anything better, does anyone have a different free host that supports php and that they know works with the script?

[Corrosion]

www.1and1.com

[dscytherulez]

Don't you have to pay after three years though? What if I forget about it and 3 years down the line I end up having to pay for it? That scares me, so, do you have to pay if you don't cancel by the end of the 3 years?

[321]

www.1and1.com

I couldn't find anything free in there

And

Do you just link to the folder cause it is not found and when I put the link in my browser it shows me what files i have and then I can click on them but it doesn't just pop up with a image.

[Hamma]

Why is it that everyone thinks everything should be free on the internet.

[AztecWarrior]

Why is it that everyone thinks everything should be free on the internet.
Because it should, duh. We already pay our ISP.

I have Halo for the PC, where it should have been from the start. There's not enough games on the XBox that really catch my attention enough to get it. The ones that do, my friend already has them so I just go to his house to play.
