//signature
/*

*/
function sig() {
	header("Content-type: image/gif"); //this lines tells the browers that the PHP file is a PNG image
	$user = $_GET["user"]; //username to display on the signature
	$img = imagecreatefrompng("image.gif");
	$black = imagecolorallocate($img,0,0,0); //makes the background color black
	$lime = imagecolorallocate($img,50,205,50); //the color white (used for text)
	//if you want to change the text or backgroud color then re-enter the RGB values
	imagestring($img,1,1,0,"Chao Online",$lime); //draws the text "Name of your game" (the first number is the size of the text, the second is the x position of the text, the third is the y position of the text)
	$statsq = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$user'") or die("ERROR"); //mysql query to get * (meaning anyting) from the table where the username is $user
	while ($stats = mysql_fetch_assoc($statsq)) {
  		imagestring($img,1,1,10,"Username: $stats[username]",$lime); //draws the players username
		imagestring($img,1,1,20,"Score: $stats[score]",$lime); //draws the players score	
if ($stats[online]) {
	imagestring($img,1,1,30,"Status: Online",$lime);
} else {
	imagestring($img,1,1,30,"Status: Offline",$lime);
}
	}
	imagegif($img); //draws the whole image as a PNG
	imagedestroy($img); //destroys the whole image
}

Edit:
http://starlg.com/polygon/test.php?act=sig&user=Fox_USA

Edit:
got it to work nvm
Edit:
is there a way to save the image that was just created to a file?

 

[YamiKaitou]

Okay, in that case than, try this. I can't try it cause I am on a different server than you are

Create a new file named gdinfo.php (or whatever you want)

Make it contain this info

<?php
var_dump(gd_info());
?>

Upload the file to your hosting.

Display the page it displays when you go to the page here.

no dosen't


heres another thing display it in places were php files are not allowed as images
so like
http://starlg.com/polygon/index.php?act=sig&user=Fox_USA/image.gif


how do i do that?

You would use mod_rewrite to 'mask' the 'real' filename/URL of the script. I'm not going to go into detail much about that though. Search Google for it or wait for someone else to post more about it if you want to know more. (I suck at regular expressions)

is there a way to save the image that was just created to a file?

Yes, using a PHP function such as imagegif(), imagejpeg(), imagepng(), etc. With the second parameter you can specify a filename/path to save the image to.

this is a script to interact with a game
so a lot of people use it
so i cant rewrite the file

mod_rewrite doesn't rewrite anything in your file; all it does is create an "alias" of a URL to your file, kind of like shortcuts in Windows. Your old URL will still work after you implement mod_rewrite rules.
