How can I create a random sig? I used to have a .php file that worked great but now it doesnt work for some reason.... [hosting it on my server]

what doesn't work with it..?

Does your server have php 4 / 5 ie is it php 4 / 5 compliant ??

do you have GD and or GD2 libraries installed on your server?

thats not needed....

btw this uses a php5 only function "scandir" so if you dont have php5 ill post the changes for it to work with php4

code:

---

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);


$folderdir = "./pics"; //EDIT THIS
$types = array('jpeg','.png','.bmp','.jpg','.gif');

//------ dont edit--------
$dir = scandir($folderdir);
$files = array();
for ($i=0;$dir[$i];$i++){
$ext=strtolower(substr($dir[$i],-4));
if (in_array($ext,$types)){
$files[]=$dir[$i];
    }
}

$image =  $files[rand(0,count($files)-1)];
$ext=strtolower(substr($image,-4));
$ext = str_replace('.','',$ext);

Header ("Content-type: image/$ext");
readfile($folderdir . '/' .$image);


?>

for php4 I believe the alternative should be opendir instead of scandir

sorry to be a bit far but where do I save the file for php 4? and who ahs any good scripts to use for the random image itself?

well if you want a script that is really good, then you should try chameleon (aka ksmas). It is made by a member on this board called keystorm and its really good.

heard of it but was unable to find it...
