Creating Dyn Sig with PHP

[abomb67]

Any ideas? I have the script to get it off of the site. It works well and all i need to know how to do is to put the numbers(levels) in the right place on the image. I assume I will be using the GD of PHP 4.2 but if you have any better ideas, give me a shout. If I am going to use the GD how should i go about it? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Also, if a different language is just SOOO much easier to do a dyn sig with, you could tell me about that.

From me ;) sry guys, but i would actually prefer that abomb kept the code for himself, at least so far... And yes, you need to use PHP GD, i dont really think there's any easier or better ways of doing it...

k fair enuf, but then theres no point keeping this topic open really if we cant help him.

 

 

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/101/0.php - This site is really good for help using the Gd library as a basic level, might be useful to get yourself started. Without knowing the script I cant really help much more. Sorry

You dont need to know how he gets the stats from the hiscores to help him insert them with GD, do you? We're just talking about variables which like $attack or $defence, which he needs help inserting into a sig...

[abomb67]

Exactly. If you want i will post what the sig looks like. But what I need is to know how to insert the variable number into the correct place on the sig and save it. Just the GD part, the way i access the stats is irrelavent.

im the one came up w/ the idea for RuneWeb's Sig System, perhaps i can be of some assistance. im not exactly clear on where the problem lies. either its w/ settings the different variables or how to place them. easiest way to get the data from hiscores is to use regex. To determine where you want to place the data, use something like this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

imagestring($signame, font size,x, y, $datavar, $textcolor);

Sounds like you are pretty knowledgeable with GD PHP images. My main question was just how to get the text overlay(the actual numbers of the skills) to line up where they need to be in the boxes or whatever. Is there a grid that is assigned by GD or what. Check your private messages.

Fair enuf jeppe, i wasnt sure how the script was set up :P

 

 

 

Something like this might work...

 

 

 

<?php



$image = "background.png"; 



$im = imagecreatefrompng($image);



$colour = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 0, 0);



ImageString($im, font size, x, y, $variable, $colour);  



header("Content-Type: image/png"); Imagepng($im,'',100); ImageDestroy ($im); 



?>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where background.png is the background image. im not that great with GD so you're probs better off speaking to the runeweb guy
