Text rotation in forum signatures

I want to randomize text/images in forum signatures like




....

blach tryrty
ooasdl dfgrtg
doal faffak
....

It calls a text file for text/images. In PHP and can be used with .htaccess

All, I could find is

I am no good with PHP. Could someone help me out a bit, thanks

 

do you want to do that in your own forums? or other forums like this one?

This actually isn't that difficult. You will need gd library for my example

First: .htaccess

RewriteRule ^showfooter.jpg showfooter.php [nc]

Code (markup):

showfooter.php (that will work for random text)

	$image = imagecreatefrompng("barbg.png");
	$black = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
	srand(time());
	$random = (rand()%9);
	$str = "Random Number: " . $random;
	imagestring($image,2, 5, 2, $str, $black);
	Header('Content-type: image/png');
	imagepng($image);
	imagedestroy($image);

Code (markup):

this example, just takes an image and sets it as the "background" (barbg.png), and adds some random number text.

This is a basic example, you will need to make the random function for the text part.

 

thank you very much
