I have just realized that my files were blank... due to the fact that i was out of space it now works I have this :

I am trying to take out a part of the cache txt i have.

its too hard... i need something like XML

Is it possible to just take a picture (like 5 secs after object is loaded) of a swf object?

ok I've added a simple parseing thing to the code i gave before

code:

---

<?
$handle = fopen("http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=guyguyme2003", "rb");
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
  $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);



$match = InsideTags('<div class="ExpBar" style="width:50"><div class="ExpBarText" style="left:20">','</div></div>',$contents); // uses a regular expression and gets the stuff inbetween those two points and returns it


foreach ($match[1] as $stat){  //just echo's all your stats
echo "$stat <br>";
}
   

function InsideTags($tag1,$tag2,$html){ //function to grab text inbetween two points
$tag2 = str_replace('/', "\/" ,$tag2);
preg_match_all("/$tag1(.*)$tag2/i", $html, $match);
return $match;
}
?>

---

now when that script above is run it will goto http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=guyguyme2003   download the whole page and inserts it into $contents.
then because the stats are displayed in the html like so

code:

---

<div class="ExpBar" style="width:50"><div class="ExpBarText" style="left:20">3</div></div>

---

my code grabs the text  inbetween the points

code:

---

<div class="ExpBar" style="width:50"><div class="ExpBarText" style="left:20">

---

and

code:

---

</div></div>

---

and then puts then in a varible called $match[1]  ( $match[0] array holds the whole html of the stat lines )
then it prints all the stats out in order

so currently the script will print out

code:

---

3
4
1
9
5

---

It should be easy for you to assign every thing in $match[1] to varibles then print it to your image.

edit:
and also you will need to cache the stats because you dont want it to download your stat page everytime someone vists your image.

I dont know if I understood fully, but I tried

code:

---

<?
$handle = fopen("http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=guyguyme2003", "rb");
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
  $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);



$match = InsideTags('<div class="ExpBar" style="width:50"><div class="ExpBarText" style="left:20">','</div></div>',$contents); // uses a regular expression and gets the stuff inbetween those two points and returns it


foreach ($match[1] as $stat){  //just echo's all your stats
echo "$stat <br>";
}


function InsideTags($tag1,$tag2,$html){ //function to grab text inbetween two points
$tag2 = str_replace('/', "\/" ,$tag2);
preg_match_all("/$tag1(.*)$tag2/i", $html, $match);
return $match;
}


header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(100, 200)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, $match[1] , $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

?>

and got


PS: that was to see if i could make it work.

Well, to remove that code that echoes your stats (useless if you want an image output) and also rename the variables so they're easier to understand, delete this code...

code:

---

foreach ($match[1] as $stat){  //just echo's all your stats
echo "$stat <br>";
}

---

And replace it with this...

code:

---

$rumble_pit = $match[1][0];
$team_skirmish = $match[1][1];
$head_to_head = $match[1][2];
$big_team_battle = $match[1][3];
$team_slayer = $match[1][4];

---

Now you can use those simple variables in the imagestring() function. The current code is trying to write "$match[1]" on the image, but that's actually an array, so it won't work.

the array highlighted is an array inside an array so you need to reference it like

code:

---

$match[1][X]

---

(where x is a number from 0 to 3  well if theres more you just keep counting up )

so

code:

---

echo $match[1][0];

---

would produce your first stat .

then to get your 2nd stat you would do

code:

---

echo $match[1][1];

---

so to produce your image i would do something like

code:

---

<?
$handle = fopen("http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=guyguyme2003", "rb");
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
  $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);



$match = InsideTags('<div class="ExpBar" style="width:50"><div class="ExpBarText" style="left:20">','</div></div>',$contents); // uses a regular expression and gets the stuff inbetween those two points and returns it


foreach ($match[1] as $stat){  //just echo's all your stats
echo "$stat <br>";
}




$text = array("Stats for map X = $match[1][0]","Stats for map X = $match[1][1]","Stats for map X = $match[1][2]","Stats for map X = $match[1][3]","Stats for map X = $match[1][3]");


header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(100, 200)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$line = 5;

foreach ($text as $string){
imagestring($im, 1, 5, $line, $string , $text_color);

$line = $line +10; //makes sure text dosnt overlap so each thing in array $text is on a new line adjust this as you need
}


imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

function InsideTags($tag1,$tag2,$html){ //function to grab text inbetween two points
$tag2 = str_replace('/', "\/" ,$tag2);
preg_match_all("/$tag1(.*)$tag2/i", $html, $match);
return $match;
}
?>

That should work I hope but im not home to test it ill test it later


edit :
blahhhhhhhhhhhhh wdz beat me

-dt-, I tried your script and I got:

And WDZ, How do you add line breaks between strings?

Did I do something wrong?

That was because you had to remove the code that echoed text. As I said above, you should get rid of that if you're outputting an image. I see that it's gone in the latest code you posted, so good.

In a regular string, you would use the line break character as Segosa said, \n. But in an image, you need to increase the vertical coordinate in your imagestring() function to go to a new line (see the $line = $line +10; in dt's code).

Yeah, this...
$rumble_pit \n $team_skirmish
should be inside a string...
"$rumble_pit\n$team_skirmish"

But like I said, you can't use a line break in an image. You have to do something like this...

code:

---

$line = 5;
imagestring($im, 1, 5, $line, $rumble_pit, $text_color);
$line = $line + 10;
imagestring($im, 1, 5, $line, $team_skirmish, $text_color);

---

That will create an image with a 1 and a 5 below it. If you want labels, just use strings like so...

code:

---

$line = 5;
imagestring($im, 1, 5, $line, "Rumble pit: $rumble_pit", $text_color);
$line = $line + 10;
imagestring($im, 1, 5, $line, "Team skirmish: $team_skirmish", $text_color);

---

Now that will show the following text on the image...

code:

---

Rumble pit: 1
Team skirmish: 5
