Animated PHP and GD image?

[diabolo]

is this possible, I'm trying to work on an animated signature.

The only way you can make an animated-like image with GD/PHP is to create multiple images and use javascript to cycle through them.

Someone linked me to that in IRC a long while back; it kinda cheats though - it's not using the GD library for making the gif itself.

Gifmerge appears to come from here:

See if those help at all.

That depends if you have Adobe Fireworks, then you create the signature and upload it to somewhere like imageshack then you use the enabled link into the signature and it should flick through them. But you need the images itself on your PC for it to insert to Adobe Fireworks and use frames and set the time to something like 100/100 seconds. (its in mini-seconds) so the pictures can be seen.

I don't think most users will have adobe fireworks on their pc, nor will they spend a lot of time downloading all pictures off your site and then importing them in fireworks etc...
In case you don't get it, the frames would be created using PHP, and diabolo wants to output an animated picture instead of a lot of passive frames.

Ontopic again:
I've found the same class as Livewire with google, so I suppose you should give that a try.

Yes but he's looking to put it in his signature thats why it was my sugguestion and adobe fireworks took about 10 mins to download on my pc. Therefore wouldn't take much time at all. i'd say i could have that done in about 30 mins.
