stevesmename Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Here is what I wish to do.I have created a RSS Feed the other day off of Feedburner.com, and they create this graphic which looks like the following for our feeds[img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/aaanwohio.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" /]Now these get dynamically updated from our XML Feed in our Newsroom.My Question - How do they do it?I wish to create something like this for our company so we can dynamically change the graphic in our employees email signatures - so we can give out Coupons, Specials, Announcements, and etc.Sure I could make feeds for each and everyone of em' but that's not what I want, I don't want that graphic, i want to be able to create my own template graphic.---------------------The only idea I have is to create a Signature for the employees to read like the following[code]<a href="http://mywebsite.com/emailsig.php"><img src="http://linktoimageonyoursite/image.gif"></a>[/code]I add that code, change the image whenever I wish - and everone's image changes along with it. But I don't beleive that's what Feedburner.com is doing. And I feel that isn't dynamic enough - I like to do a project, and be done with it. Not constantly do tedious work. (I don't think I'm alone on this - lol)I think they might be having a cron job, or something similar. I had a feed update yesterday, it took Feedburner 1/2 hour to update everything, on their site, and in my email signatures.-----------------------I have found one site which is a possiblity how they do it.[a href=\"http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/weekend/dynemail/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"]http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/weeke...il/default.aspx[/a]-- But to be honest, Screw That! I refuse to use ASP, I believe in 100% freedom of knowledge.So I ask you - if you have an idea how to get this to work, please let us all know.

trq Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Could be done quite easily using the [a href=\"http://php.net/gd\" target=\"_blank\"]gd[/a] extension.
