Tutorial: Random Signature

Hi, I just noticed CDude's random sig, and some other people might be wondering how to do that.

Make a page called signature.php. Put this code in it:

PHP:

<?php
header("Content-Type: image/png");
$sigs = array();
$sigs[] = "sig1.png";
$sigs[] = "sig2.png";

$sig = $sigs[rand(0, count($sigs)-1)];

$image = ImageCreateFromPNG($sig);
ImagePNG($image);
ImageDestroy($image);
?>

Now to access your image, go

Code:

<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/signature.php" alt="" />

And to put in vB

Code:

[ img ]http://www.yoursite.com/signature.php[ /img ]
w/o spaces between the brackets

too much work there Radley, if you want random quotes, just read the quotes from a file/database and write it into the image.

Yeah, but I wasn't doing random quotes. I was making random signatures .

blah, random quote is more fun.

Ok, I understood everything, but now how would I apply that signature to a forum using nothing but vbcode?

thanx Radley, I was thinking about that today while I was working on my Chem Final...oh how my mind strays.
