I noticed someone on a forum... with a signature which basically was a php chat type thing they made on their site and made it an image that auto-updates... Here it is: http://wocares.com/kyochat/?action=readimg Code (markup): The chat which is located here: http://wocares.com/kyochat/ How do they make the image auto-update? What do they use?
they could use a variety of things. without digging into it, you use the PHP GD functions to draw. You can make a script on the server, for example, image.php, return HTTP headers that say, "I'm a JPG" -- then, you can use GD to draw and send JPG data.
Blacknite, I'm just stopping by to tell you that you're a retard. If you had even bothered to look at the extension of the file, you might have noticed that it's a php file. Everytime you load the image, it is simply executing PHP code that will load the recent messages, and display them as image. It's the simplest thing ever, I thought you spoke PHP and were so web and computer-savvy?
Yup, Google "PHP Image" and you will get some tuts, or try php.net, if you need some help Pm me although I know only 5-10% PHP GD started using it two days ago...but I LOVE IT.
