Forum Signature-image With Php

signatureimage

Apr 16 2005, 10:24 AM

With interest I have read these Topics.

What I want to do with PHP is the following:
Signatue-image

This is the Forum Signature of my cousin,
who lives in Europe.

The image is generated in real-time.
(Refresh the page, and see for yourself)

My cousin refuses to tell me how he did this.
But I want to do the same thing, also with PHP.

Any ideas?

Greetings,
John.

It's quite easy to do this actually. All you've to do is to get PHP to read your IP & whatever other Browser Stats you want and create a JPEG/GIF/PNG image dynamically and send it back to your browser. Here's a simple code that will display your IP address as an image.

CODE

<?php
$img_number = imagecreate(275,25);
$backcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,102,102,153);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,255,255,255);

imagefill($img_number,0,0,$backcolor);
$number = " Your IP is $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]";

Imagestring($img_number,10,5,5,$number,$textcolor);

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($img_number);
?>

You simply need to add on whatever other stats and graphics you wish to include. Modify this code and save it as a .php file and you'll get the desired results.

First:
Thank you for moving my post into the correct forum group.

Second:
Thank you for putting me on the right programming track.

Third:
Now that I know how to start, I will use my home test-server
to program the signature image.

This is really cool! Question: Is this what J-sig does? Because everytime I see M^E's signature I'm like, I want one.... but there's no client for Mac for J-sig, so I might have to resort to making my own?

Dear chiiyo,

After reading your post, I went to investigate J-sig.

Indeed, the creation of the J-sig image is probably done
in the same way as my prototype.

But where J-sig differs is in the data that J-sig displays:

First, the J-sig server script captures information
about the surfers's browser, just like my prototype does.

Second, the J-sig server script captures information
about the J-sig subscriber's own machine, and in order
to do so, the J-sig subscriber needs to install the J-sig
software on his/her PC.
This is in fact some sort of privacy intrusion, don't you think?

What I want to do now:
I need a PHP/mySQL hosting service, because my idea is
to use a mySQL database.

First, I will store in the mySQL database the texts that
are to be displayed inside the signature image.
This will have to be done for each user.

Second, I will have to write a PHP dialog that will allow
new users to subscribe to the signature image service,
and that will allow existing users to modify their texts.

Third, I will store in the mySQL database the hits on the
signature images, when a surfers displays the image.

Fourth, I will have to write a PHP script to draw an image
with the statistics of the hits on each user's signature image.
This chart image will function in the same manner as the
signature image itself, now that I know how to do that.

Fifth, I will store in the mySQL database the TCP/IP addresses
of all the Internet Service Providers in the world, together
with their Country-codes.
The raw data - in CSV format - is freely available on the Internet.
I have already programmed the SQL to load a mySQL
database with this information on my home test-server.

Sixth, I will modify the PHP that draws the signature image,
and the PHP that draws the hit-chart, and include the Country-code
of the surfers that view the signature images.
Just like J-sig does.

Now you see why I need a PHP/mySQL hosting service....

Cool, sounds like you have a plan!

If I understand you correctly, if you actually set up this thing, you'd be able to offer the services J-sig offers without requiring people to download and install any software, is that correct? That'll be really cool, since currently J-sig only caters to people using Windows software, and that's really sad!

If you ever intend to set it up, and need graphics, just give a holler! People around here are very helpful in that. I should be able to hook you up with a few bases.

By the way I was surfing through the Whatpulse Signature generation site (whatpulse.afraid.org) and they had a little section where they teach you how to do what you just did. I haven't read through the entire thing yet (I don't know PHP) but I'll just give the link here for other people interested in doing this but also like me, don't understand PHP...

Dear chiiyo,

Thank you for pointing us to the Whatpulse site.

I have picked up an idea for my hit-chart graph:
(point 6 in my previous post)

Originally I wanted to show a statistical graph
of all the hits on the user's signature image,
based on the Country-code of the surfers.
But now I will try to show also the Country-flags
on the chart, if I can find all of them.
But

Google is my friend !

I suppose that will be almost 250 flag images.
