Stats on a image?

Does anyone know how to put live stats on a image.

For example I want to show how much a member of my site has made, so he can post the image/banner on forums, etc to attract members.

 

You would need to provide a js oojeymawotsit that would call the image and dynamically create the image everytime it was called from the server. Or every time a new sale is made recreate the image so when a request is made from the other persons site it will effectively be live,.

 

I have no idea what that means lol

 

lol, what you will need to do is learn php + GD, GD allows you to create images dynamically you may want to learn how to parse xml feeds as well.

here is something i did a while ago which is very smiler to what you want to do.

 

Yea, that is exactly what i need, I was trying to find a code for one online but I came up empty handed so far.

 

if you pm me i can give you a link to that code if you like, it's very messy but has everything you need to make the image.

 

Is one we made for a client with .Net as it is easy enough to do:

Dim bitMapImage As Bitmap = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(Server.MapPath("~/images/bootprint.jpg"))
Dim graphicImage As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitMapImage)

graphicImage.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias

Dim Tlength As Integer = graphicImage.MeasureString(String.Format("{0:C2}", amount), New Font("Arial Black", 18, FontStyle.Regular)).Width
Dim xpos As Integer = (bitMapImage.Width - Tlength) / 2
graphicImage.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias
graphicImage.DrawString(String.Format("{0:C2}", amount), New Font("Arial Black", 18, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.White, xpos, 120)

bitMapImage.Save(Response.OutputStream)

graphicImage.Dispose()
bitMapImage.Dispose()

Code (.Net):

Amount is a variable which is pulled from the db beforehand

We also cache the page for 5 minutes to prevent too much server load

 

Thanks, I will try it out.
