Random sig script

Since the database is gone (-_-;;)

I can't use search.. On the old scape there was this guy named

Alex -something and he had a random image script. Does anyone have something simmillar (sp?) to that? I'd like my old sigs in a random image script again :)

Thanks,

Steph

merciful did have one, not sure if hes still got it, you can pm him and ask :)

www.cutandpastescripts.com << register and u can use the random image thingy there :)

Actually, no you cant. It dosnt display your image size, so it isnt allowed.

Remember.. google is your friend

           $files[] = $file; // it's good

closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore



mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2



$rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along







header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!

... except .php sigs no longer work, because they were removed from this version of phpbb ;) (apparently there were security issues)

RaenonD has a random signature, that's not .php, but it doesn't display file size, so nobody but him will be allowed to use it :roll:

Hehe it was me :)

Well since they don't allow php, I don't know what other options there are for making do a random script, unless someone knows how to link to a graphics file and then make it read it as php? Dunno if that's possible?

I have a script, but it doesn't work here anymore... Kind of disappointing.

;)

Yeah.. except I have no idea how that works. Too bad the php thing doesnt work anymore :( Ill just switch every now and then I guess.

Thanks anyway

Bah my poor poor script cant work here no more :'(

I guess ill have to open up notepad and make one that exports to png or something :D lol

If you change the MIME type on your server so that an image extension is parsed as PHP, it'll work. I did that for my sig.

Do you mean, display the file size to an automated script, or when you right click on it? Because when I right click on it and choose "Image Properties," it comes up with all the stats of the image.

Hmm I've tried putting a .htaccess file in. It works when I put the link in the web browser but doesn't do anything when I put it on these forums.

Are you sending any headers in your file?

No, I modified it in cPanel so that jpegs are parsed as PHP. I try not to mess with headers whenever I can.

After various tests, I've found that these forums don't like the ? (question mark after the file name, i.e to select the user).

So they only way to have the random script is just to link to the file (e.g .jpg) and not have anything after it = no more random scrips unless I have a file/directory for each user :|

I know there's something in Apache and PHP where you can have a script generate directories temporarily. See pastebin.com and look at how the URL for each code snippet is - it's a subdirectory. The subdirectories aren't actually there; there virtual and made by the script. You could look at the source. Or switch to CGI.

The webhosting that I have of course won't allow me to edit the Apache config file :/ so I'm just gonna do everything manually.
