Automatically saving dynamic images

[shadysaiyan]

Okay, i had a similar topic before, but this is a bit different i think. My question is. What is the code for saving the generated dynamic image ince its generated and with the username of the user that made it? also the .htaccess for making it so if a member goes to http://mydomain.com/forums/username.png it will show their generated/saved sig?

 

Everything works correctly, just need to know how to do these two things.

 

here is the code for my php sig

 

<?

$db_host = "db_host";

$db_user = "dbuser";

$db_pass = "db_pass";

$db_name = "db_name";

$db = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);

mysql_select_db ($db_name) or die ("Cannot Connect To Database");

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from ibf_members");

$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * from ibf_pfields_content");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

  {

    while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))

  {

 

header("Content-type: image/png");

$im = imagecreatefrompng("sig.png");

$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,12,47);

$white = ImageColorAllocate($im,255,255,255);

imagestring($im, 3, 250, 136, "animedestination.com", $white);

imagestring($im, 3, 5, 0, $row['members_display_name'], $white);

imagestring($im, 2, 175, 35, "Username:  " . $row['members_display_name'], $color);

imagestring($im, 2, 175, 45, "Member No: " . $row['id'], $color);

imagestring($im, 2, 175, 55, "Posts: " . $row['posts'], $color);

imagestring($im, 2, 175, 65, "Title: " . $row['title'], $color);

imagestring($im, 2, 175, 75, "Profile Views: " . $row['members_profile_views'], $color);

imagestring($im, 2, 175, 85, "Favorite Anime: " . $row1['field_1'], $color);

imagepng($im);

imagedestroy($im);

}

}

?>

 

Also forgot to mention i use Invision Power Board.

//first you need an image path and the filename you want to use

$imgpath = "images/yourimagename.png";

 

//you may also get the path this way

$imagename = "yourimagename.png";

$imgpath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/images/" . $imagename;

 

//second save the file to your chosen directory

imagepng($im, $imgpath,100);

 

I don't have an answer for your second question-sorry.

Thanks, it generated the file and i even got it to generate it with the filename as the username, but when it load the sig.php i get an error message now saying it contains errors, and when i got the the generated image. it just shows me the whole URL to it.

 

Here's my new code:

 

<?

$db_host = "db_host";

$db_user = "dbuser";

$db_pass = "db_pass";

$db_name = "db_name";

$db = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);

mysql_select_db ($db_name) or die ("Cannot Connect To Database");

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * from ibf_members");

$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * from ibf_pfields_content");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

  {

    while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))

  {

 

header("Content-type: image/png");

$imagename = $row['members_display_name'] . ".png";

$imgpath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/forums/signatures/" . $row['members_display_name'] . ".png";

$im = imagecreatefrompng("sig.png");

$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,12,47);

$white = ImageColorAllocate($im,255,255,255);

$font = 'fonts/arialbd.ttf';

imagettftext($im, 9, 0, 275, 147, $white, $font, "animedestination.com");

imagettftext($im, 9, 0, 5, 10, $white, $font, $row['members_display_name']);

imagettftext($im, 7.5, 0, 175, 35, $color, $font, "Username:  " . $row['members_display_name']);

imagettftext($im, 7.5, 0, 175, 45, $color, $font, "Member No: " . $row['id']);

imagettftext($im, 7.5, 0, 175, 55, $color, $font, "Posts: " . $row['posts']);

imagettftext($im, 7.5, 0, 175, 65, $color, $font, "Title: " . $row['title']);

imagettftext($im, 7.5, 0, 175, 75, $color, $font, "Profile Views: " . $row['members_profile_views']);

imagettftext($im, 7.5, 0, 175, 85, $color, $font, "Currently Watching: " . $row1['field_1']);

imagepng($im, $imgpath,100);

imagedestroy($im);

}

}

?>

i was just editing a bit more and trying stuff to make it work, i found that when i removed the 100 from the imagepng tag it generated correctly, thanks!

[hansford]

sorry, I'm use to writing jpeg images where the imagejpeg($im, $imgpath,100);

 

The 100 is for the quality from 0-100

 

looking over the manual for png images I see

 

there is a place for a 3rd argument which is quality but its for

Compression level: from 0 (no compression) to 9.
