yeah what snlil ysaid ou would have to echo the php then it should pop up, and i just noticed that now about the random quotes, i never noticed it before.

I'm not sure if the echo will work, but I think that it should....Buffalo, I see that you double spaced your quotes file. It needs to be single spaced. See if that works....

[BuffaloHelp 24]

I edited my random.txt to be single spaced. I edited so that it shows as

## This prints the banner, quotes or random text, or whatever is in the random.txt fileecho "$RandomRotator";

as the last line. But it fails. Here is the link http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and see if you can work it out.

Hmm, the link works, and I can see the quotes in text form. Are you saying that it doesn't work when you call it from Xisto?

[BuffaloHelp 24]

Yup, I enter the above link as image. For example,

[img]http://buffalohelp.net/dev/random_quotes.png[/img]

and this is what it looks like

 

 

I guess displaying text as a graphic isn't really working for any forum...

i think in order to display the php to run on here you would have to put the <?php insert "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; ?> something like that (coding is a bit off but you get the idea)if you can work the php to something like that it might work then.

What am i doing wrong?
In http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is a folder named sig.png. In that folder is a file named index.php

It has this code:

<?phpHeader("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");Header("Content-Type: image/gif");srand((double)microtime()*1000000);$randnum = rand(0,1,2,3);if($randnum == 0){ readfile("http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/8074/siggymoody2copy7ff.jpg");}else if($randnum == 1){ readfile("http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/7831/siggymoody3copy7rm.jpg");}else if($randnum == 2){ readfile("http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/6484/moodysig9pd.gif");}else if($randnum == 3){ readfile("http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9291/moodysig23bl.png");}?>

The images are uploaded and in my CP is this:

[img]http://moody.trap17.com/sig.png[/img]Gift sigs recieved from: truefusion, mayank

It gives a 'user posted image' error

Try this code:

<?phpHeader("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");Header("Content-Type: image/gif");srand((double)microtime()*1000000);$randnum = rand(0,3);if($randnum == 0){readfile("http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/8074/siggymoody2copy7ff.jpg");}else if($randnum == 1){readfile("http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/7831/siggymoody3copy7rm.jpg");}else if($randnum == 2){readfile("http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/6484/moodysig9pd.gif");}else if($randnum == 3){readfile("http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9291/moodysig23bl.png");}?>

Yeah, no problem.

 

And if you don't want to waste bandwidth, then you can try this shorter code:

 

<?phpHeader("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");Header("Content-Type: image/gif");// Header info, forces no cache and image type of GIF	$sigs = file("http://sang.trap17.com/sig.png/list.txt"); //replace the URL inside with your list.txt	$blah = $sigs[rand(0, count($sigs) - 1)];	$blah = substr($blah, 0, strlen($blah) - 1);	readfile($blah);?>

What that does is it finds a list.txt inside your sig.png folder, picks a random line, and displays it. Your list.txt file is basically a list of all the URLs to your sigs...one per line. Just check out mine if you don't know what I'm talking about: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

This is good if you don't want to waste your own webspace and bandwidth.

Hi,
I'm using the code above but it never displays the last image on my list and occasionaly nothing displays at all.

<?phpHeader("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");Header("(anti-spam-content-type:) image/png");// Header info, forces no cache and image type of GIF$sigs = file("http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;; //replace the URL inside with your list.txt$blah = $sigs[rand(0, count($sigs) - 1)];$blah = substr($blah, 0, strlen($blah) - 1);readfile($blah);?>

do I need to change something, or is it something to do with my host?

[Saint_Michael 3]

$sigs = file("http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;; //replace the URL inside

$sigs = file("http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;; //replace the URL inside
