How I Made My Signature

[Death]

Ok...

After making the base image...how can I apply the code on that image?

Like just paste it on the image will probably won't work!

So how can I apply th php code on the image?

Thanks

EDIT: I see that the same question has arised in this post before, but the answer to it didn't really help me

Great tutorial I also found a way to show the latest post and poster on a Phpbb forum in your sig.

 

[dharmil]

its alright

i know you have a lot of work to do with x10 and you have your site to mantain

 

[Brandon]

Well I just thought of something my sig is hosted on my account so if the HTTP server goes down... Lol got to move it somewhere.

 

[Death]

Um...Can some one help me out here?

I made two files Index.php & FunctionsVariables.inc.php

with the codes as given by Nedren...now what am I supposed to?

please guide me through it guys!

 

[dharmil]

k do this
give me a pic you want as background an i iwll make it for you...

 

[Death]

Ok...

With some help from Dharmil I figured out how to get the stuff to show up...

Ok...now the thing is that there are positions of the text represented as:

imagettftext($image, 8, 0, 260, 85, $color, $font2, $status);

How will I be able to know that it's 8, 0, 260... Do I have to play around with it or is there a particular way to do it?

Please let me know...Thanks

And yea why does it say Server Load: No Idea and Uptime: No Idea lol?

 

[Brandon]

I just played around with it.

 

[dharmil]

I just played around with it.

Fist Number = Font Size
Second Number = Dont knoe
Third Number = x-axes
Forth Number = y-axes

 

[Brandon]

Yeah, thats correct. The second number is angle.

 

[Death]

Oh Ok...

And Enigma...How can I get the random quotes and # of times view thingy...Like what is the php code for that?

 

[Brandon]

Let me fetch the code. My script is all messy.

 

[Death]

Sorry but I am a n00b at Php

I think that this resembles the color:

$red = imagecolorallocate($image, 231, 180, 180);

$green = imagecolorallocate($image, 000, 000, 000);

$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

how can i change it to waht i want...? Can some one tell me :S

 

[Brandon]

Well your correct for the color I'm not good at explaining you might want to contact NedreN

 

[Death]

Ok I will...

Let me know the code for # of views and Random quotes php cod...

Thanks

here i'll post my code because i made lovely functions.

I made the hit counter out of fopen functions.

function views($name){
	
	$TextFile = $name;
	$Count = trim(file_get_contents($TextFile));
	$FP = fopen($TextFile, "r");
	$Count=fgets($FP, 4096);
	fclose ($FP);
	settype($Count, "integer");
	$Count++;
	if ($FP = fopen ($TextFile, "w")){
	fwrite ($FP, $Count);
	fclose ($FP);
	}
 return $Count;
}

Just make a file named whatever you want, cmod to 777 and call upon that function with

$views = views('myhits.txt');

This is my quote function.

function quote($mysql){
    if ($mysql == 'Online'){
      $query1 = mysql_query("SELECT `id` FROM `quotes`") or die (mysql_error());
      $num = mysql_num_rows($query1);
      $id = rand(1,$num);
      $quotetmp = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `quotes` WHERE `id` = '$id'");
      $qte = mysql_fetch_array($quotetmp);
      $quote2=$qte['quote'];
      $views=$qte['views'];
      $quote2 = stripslashes($quote2);
      $views = $views + 1;
      $update = mysql_query("UPDATE `quotes` SET `views`='$views' WHERE `id`='$id'") or die (mysql_error());
    }
 return $quote2;
}

that is called with

$quote = quote($mysql);

Where mysql is represented by

   $mysql = serviceStatus('70.85.87.52', 3306);

   if ($mysql == 'Online') { $color = $green; } else { $color = $red; }

   imagettftext($image, 10, 0, 10, 100, $white, $font, "MySQL Server:");

   imagettftext($image, 8, 0, 105, 100, $color, $font2, $status);

Hope that helps.

Oh also for this

$red = imagecolorallocate($image, 231, 180, 180);

$green = imagecolorallocate($image, 000, 000, 000);

$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

Ok, The first 3 digits are Red. The next 3 are Green. The last 3 are Blue

Here is a link that you can find colors off of

Ok...

I didn't understand your words regarding call upon and stuff :s

So I did this...I made a file.txt named myhits.txt and then placed the following code inside it:

 function views($name){
    
    $TextFile = $name;
    $Count = trim(file_get_contents($TextFile));
    $FP = fopen($TextFile, "r");
    $Count=fgets($FP, 4096);
    fclose ($FP);
    settype($Count, "integer");
    $Count++;
    if ($FP = fopen ($TextFile, "w")){
    fwrite ($FP, $Count);
    fclose ($FP);
    }
 return $Count;
}

and at one of the places in the signature...I placed the other code which is:

$views = views('myhits.txt');

Well when I did that it said "Image contains errors"...so Please let me know where i went wrong :S

Thanks

That is really really cool. We should make one for the forums so people dont have to ask.
