I noticed that some ppl have a sig where theres an image and it shows the viewers IP and Operating system. Could someone show me how to do this?

I'm thinking this is in the WRONG section.

Well, first of all, you need about 3 files which contain the following:

.htaccess

<Files ipaddress.jpg>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

ipaddress.jpg

<?php
Header ('Content-type: image/jpeg');
Header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
Header('Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT');
Header('Pragma: no-cache');

// set the dimensions
$img_width = 240;
$img_height = 25;

// create the image
$image = imagecreate($img_width, $img_height);

// set the colours
$cool  = imagecolorallocate($image, 81, 86, 96);
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$red   = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0);
$grey  = imagecolorallocate($image, 204, 204, 204);
$green = imagecolorallocate($image, 206, 129, 18);
$blue  = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 255);

// set the background colour and border
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, $img_width, $img_height, $cool);

// set the font and print text
$font = '/path/to/your/ttf/font';

ImageTTFText ($image, 8, 0, 10, 17, $white, $font, "Your IP Address is... ".$REMOTE_ADDR);

// output and destroy
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

?>

and your font file. I use Verdana...

If you continue playing on, you can put in a background color, pics, random text, etc.

Good luck!

yah and you get the sig like this on my frontpage.

[Carmon]

looks very hard and confusing

The thing I don't get about those, is how do you use a custom image? I'm not too hot with php, but I can't see anything in that code which imports an image and overlays stuff onto it

The php calls holders (images) which are png files. The actually image you see is actually the script but you place a htaccess file and within that you trick the server to think its a jpg instead of .php file.

You have to use different commands:

ipaddress.jpg

<?php

Header ('Content-type: image/png');
Header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
Header('Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT');
Header('Pragma: no-cache');

// create the image
$image = imagecreatefrompng("name-of-pic.png");

// set the colours
$cool = imagecolorallocate($image, 81, 86, 96);
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($image, 204, 204, 204);
$green = imagecolorallocate($image, 206, 129, 18);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 255);

// set the font and print text
$font = '/path/to/your/ttf/font

ImageTTFText ($image, 8, 0, 10, 17, $white, $font, "Your IP Address is... ".$REMOTE_ADDR);

// output and destroy
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

?>

When I do this, it just shows me a blank page (both versions of scripts) - I think my hoster might be incompatible, but I don't know with what.. it can use PHP just fine... any suggestions? Here is what I have:

.htaccess :
Options None

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
require group authors administrators
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthType Basic
AuthName www.phazm.net
AuthUserFile xxxx/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile xxxx/service.grp
<Files siggy.jpg>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

then in siggy.jpg I have:

<?php
Header ('Content-type: image/png');
Header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
Header('Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT');
Header('Pragma: no-cache');

// create the image
$image = imagecreatefrompng("bg.png");

// set the colours
$cool = imagecolorallocate($image, 81, 86, 96);
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($image, 204, 204, 204);
$green = imagecolorallocate($image, 206, 129, 18);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 255);

// set the font and print text
$font = 'Arial.ttf'

ImageTTFText ($image, 8, 0, 10, 17, $white, $font, "Your IP Address is... ".$REMOTE_ADDR);

// output and destroy
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

?>

then in bg.png I have a pure black BG,

and I have Arial.ttf in the same dir as everything else...

[gamehead200]

Create a PHP file and put this in it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Scroll down to see if GD is enabled, if it isn't, then that is probably your main problem!

And you shouldn't put anything else in the .htaccess file except for what I mentioned above!

[tawxic]

http://www.phazm.net/phpinfo.php

GD is enabled :-/

and .htaccess is fine, I renamed the file to a .php (http://www.phazm.net/siggy.php) and it's just the red x :-/

[tawxic]

I just hate .htaccess only ave what you said to (with my own filename):

<Files siggy.jpg>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

and I made siggy.jpg:

<?php
Header ('Content-type: image/jpeg');
Header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
Header('Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT');
Header('Pragma: no-cache');

// set the dimensions
$img_width = 240;
$img_height = 25;

// create the image
$image = imagecreate($img_width, $img_height);

// set the colours
$cool = imagecolorallocate($image, 81, 86, 96);
$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 0);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($image, 204, 204, 204);
$green = imagecolorallocate($image, 206, 129, 18);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 255);

// set the background colour and border
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, $img_width, $img_height, $cool);

// set the font and print text
$font = 'Arial.ttf';

ImageTTFText ($image, 8, 0, 10, 17, $white, $font, "Your IP Address is... ".$REMOTE_ADDR);

// output and destroy
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);

?>

and it just comes up with a blank page:

http://www.phazm.net/siggy.jpg

gah! :-P

[tawxic]

well, I got http://www.phazm.net/siggy.php to draw a bg color... (I just went in and changed some php.ini settings) but it doesn't write any text.

[gamehead200]

Try putting the full path to your font without using CAPITAL letters... Then it might work...
