Dynamic images

[regdude]

Hi,

I made an dynamic image but the problem is that most forums doesn't support them.

I have seen that some dynamic images uses something like this: /sig/sig_2.jpg

Can someone help me with creating such a script from a simple dynamic image?

I don't think anyone understands what you're asking.

 

are you saying you've created an dynamic image with a .php extension and therfore can't use it in your forums because they don't end in .jpg or .gif?

Look into path_info setup of Apache and php.

if pathinfo is setup u can have urls like

 

http://www.xxx.yyy/sig.php/my.jpg

Ok, i will try to explain bit more.

I use an dynamic image, but it goes like sig.php?id=1!

When i use this link(full link ofcourse) in a forum i get only a link of the image, thats because they have disabled dynamic images.

I want to make an image that will be dynamic but could go in forum, i have seen them somethinh like this: sig_1.jpg

I guess there is a script in this dynamic image and a .htaccess script wich makes these 'sig_x.jpg'

ok, so stick your php file in its own folder

then create a text file name .htaccess in that same directory and add something like:

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.jpg$ $1.php [nc]

 

then when you tell the forum that your image is at yourdomain.com/sig/sig.jpg  they'll think their loading a JPG but your server will know that its really displaying a PHP file

I forgot to say that im using Linux and Lighttpd.

 

Anyway...

this is my sig file: /sig/tag.php

i use this for someones data: /sig/tag.php?id=1

i use this in /sig/ folder ar .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/.jpg$ $tag.php [nc]

 

also i used an example from popular these kind of things "psychotag" and i made this in root:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^samp/tag_([0-9].*).png /samp/tag.php?id=$1 [L,PT]

wich also doesn't work.
