well I cant' figure out how to make a dynamic image, only a dynamic table that has alot of html code in it :S. How is text actualy put into the image, because this is supposed to go into a signature, so that it displays peopleses stats and when their stats change, then the image changes. Eg. I go to the game RuneScape, then my stats increase. The image that shows the stats will also increase. What I know: How to retrieve their stats via file() (in php) and return it as TEXT. What I need to know: how to return it as part of an image. |

Here's something I've been wanting to know (mainly because I haven't bothered to try it myself) ... If you .htaccess and change the mime-types of files to read certain extensions as PHP (since InvisionFree won't let you use .php as image extensions), if you have PHP return just text (HTML maybe) instead of an actual image, will it show up on the forums? :unsure: |

tyvm! I have no idea about what Jeremy is talking about though cause im pretty stupid when it comes to PHP lol  but what I would do if I wanted to return it as text, would just put the image as a background of a table, then alter the table cells...but I dunno if you could create an image file with that. TYVM! YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE HELPED ME LOL!

I meant if you have the script itself return text instead of an image, would the text show up? |
