Wtf? ascii as php

[newbtophp]

How would you do this? (a base64 type of php string which looks like ascii)

 

 

Anyone know how could this be done?

 

[Zane]

don't know..but I'd like to find out.

 

Guess I'll be on Google for a while

What do you mean with "looks like ASCII"? ASCII is just a character set.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

I would make an image (using php GD's functions or any image editor) of the characters or whatever you wanted as the design. One could then iterate over the image and use imagecolorat to find pixels that are set. Make a matrix/2d-array (at some chosen size ratio to the original image size) for the ASCII output and for each pixel found in the original image, fill in the desired ascii character at the corresponding position in the array.

it's not PHP..that's art

 

someone probably spent a good month or so on that..maybe longer

[newbtophp]

Its php i ran it and its php!

 

I'd like to find out how its done, i asked the author but he didnt reveal.

 

I said ascii because it looks like ascii text.

[nrg_alpha]

If you mean how the art is done, there are ascii art generators out there, like this one for instance.

[newbtophp]

Yes i know that but this one in particular was'nt any random charset, it looks like ascii but the characters, are a php string!, its php which looks like ascii..

There is a program in my textbook that I don't understand how works. Can you tell me how it works? I won't show you the source code, but surely you can tell me how it works, right?

This thread over at Perl Monks explains how it works.
