Rotating Sig Tutorial
===================================
Written By Demosthenes705
This tutorial will show you how to make a sig rotator.
You will need:
- All sigs that you want to include in .PNG format.
- A webserver that supports PHP.
Step 1
Get all the sigs that you want to be included into one folder. Make sure that they are all .PNG files.
Step 2
Rename the images in numbered order. The order doesn't matter, as it rotates randomly and not in any order. For example: 0.png, 1.png, 2.png, etc...
Step 3
Open any text editor that you like. For example: notepad. Paste the following code into that file and edit what is needed.
PHP Code:
<?php
// ======================= //
// Follow the instructions to edit the information below this line.
// ======================= //
// Set the range of images you have here. For example: $img_num = rand(0,10) 0 would be the first image in the set, and 10 would be the last image
$img_num = rand(1,8);
// ======================= //
// DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
// ======================= //
// You need this to make sure that browsers read this as an image
header("Content-type: image/png");
// Get a file into an array.
$lines = file($img_num . ".png");
// Loop through our array to show the image.
foreach ($lines as $line) {
echo $line;
}
?>
Step 4
Save that file as 'sig.php' without the quotes. Save it in the same folder as the images.
Step 5
Upload that folder to your webserver.
Step 6
Use the location of the sig.php file in an image tag just like a regular image. For example:
HTML Code:
[IMG]http://path/to/your/sig/file/sig.php[/IMG]
You're done!!!
Unless you know what you are doing don't edit. if you do you can change the image type that will be displayed by chaning these lines
PHP code:
header("Content-type: image/???");
and then this line
$lines = file($img_num . ".???");
Thats all and just use the tag in step 6 and it will work
