Sig Rotator from Anulien

How do you make this work? do you use [code] or just plug the php in your sig box?

I know you explained how to do avatars with this script...but I forgot :(. If you could 'splain I would appreciate it greatly.

Rikr, the script and images have to be hosted on a webserver. In it's current form it will not work with something like photobucket hosted images. But even then the script itself would have to be hosted for you.

Veri, avatars and sigs work the same way. Here is what I would do: name the script avatar.php and create a folder named avatars. Put all your avatar images inside this directory. Inside the avatar.php script change the $imgdir variable to "./avatars/". Now on whatever forum just set your avatar image to http://www.whateverdomain.com/avatar.php and you win life.

I think I lose at life actually :(.

For those having problems, try this:


<?php
/*
imgsrv.php - returns random images on request
Author: MC Motherfuckin Anulien the Super Bard of Solusek Ro

imgdir can be absolute or relative path, just keep the trailing slash
Windows ex. C:\wwwroot\image-dir
Linux ex. /home/person/public_html/imagedir/
Or you can leave the default and just create an image directory in the same path as the script

Passing argument i will set the image to the number in the indexed array, for example:
http://domain/imgsrv.php?i=1
will always produce the same image

TODO:
Realign image array based on creation date so adding new images does not change the index,
current allignment is based on alpha ordering
*/


//set image directory to scan, default is ./image/
$imgdir="./image/";

//create and set userland variables
$img_array=array();
$counter=0;
$maxfile=0;
$img_set=-1;

//check if a static index number has been passed in the request
if(isset($_REQUEST["i"]) && $_REQUEST["i"] != '') {
$img_set=$_REQUEST["i"];
}

//scan $imgdir for all files
if ($handle = opendir($imgdir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$img_array[$counter]=$file;
$counter++;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}

//set file count for the image array
$maxfile=count($img_array)-1;
//if an index number has passed select the image matching that array index
if ($img_set == -1) {
$imgfile=$img_array[rand(0,$maxfile)];
} else {
$imgfile=$img_array[$img_set];
}

/*
kludge: do not use file names with more than one . till i stop being lazy and write some regex
the kludge is to avoid having to enable magic mime, fuck that noise
*/

$ext = substr(strrchr($imgfile, "."), 1);

switch ($ext) {
case 'gif':
$mime_type="image/gif";
break;
case 'jpg':
$mime_type="image/jpg";
break;
case 'jpeg':
$mime_type="image/jpg";

case 'bmp':
$mime_type="image/bmp";

case 'png':
$mime_type="image/png";
break;
}

//create file pointer with read only permissions.
//added binary mode for some windows problems
$fp=fopen($imgdir.$imgfile,"rb");

//pass image headers and length. meets browser RFC requirements
header("Content-Type: ".$mime_type);
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($imgdir.$imgfile));

//pass memory of set file pointer
fpassthru($fp);

//close current file pointer to prevent memory leaks, never trust high level languages!
fclose($fp);
