Coding

Im not sure if this goes in this section but whatever.

I am woundering how do thoes pictures that say "Your IP address is ********. You are using ******. On a ******* computer."
Thoes type of pictures that are differnt for every computer.
Do any of you know how they work and apply it some where else?

Not really a picture as such, but this tool might give you a starting idea

Does generate a bitmap, and is fully configurable

hummm, not exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the thought though.
It is kind of hard to explain so ill just go for the main thing.
I want to be able to make it so that I have a sig on another forum that when I make a post shows one pic on someone com, and a different pic on someone elses com on the same post.
Is this possible?
If so how to do this?

In your first post, that image is generated using (most likely) PHP using its image editing power. IP addresses, hostmasks, browsers, and operating systems are easily picked up using a few lines of PHP code, and all you need to do is use a few functions, like imagettftext(), and it'll spit out the modified image using a previously specified image resource.

Now rephrase your second post.

Ok, one more time, lets see if I can get it this time :p

Say I make a post, and the sig pic that I have changes for other computers.
Like in the same post I made !mo0chan! sees as my sig pic, and crazy_camel sees as my sig pic.
Does that help :confused:

Wow, I think that would be incredibly annoying. I can only imagine it would have to be done with some kind of Java script that would randomly chose a pic and associate it with someone's IP and possibly send a cookie to retain those settings. Good luck figuring it out, I can't help ya. Sorry.

So you just want the pictures to be random? There are lots of random image scripts out there that you could use. Search www.hotscripts.com for a random image rotation script or something. Or you could put it in an iFrame, and load those pages randomly. But if you want it to persistently be a certain way for a certain person, that's much more difficult.

Thanks deker, ill use that.
Crypto, I was going to use it on another forums, so you dont have to worry.

With a short little PHP script it's easy. Depending on what the criteria are, you can have it run through a set of IF statements and echo the appropriate image, like for example:

[PHP]

if (some condition) {
echo "";
} else if (some other condition) {
echo "";
} else {
echo "";
}

?>
[/PHP]
This is saved in a seperate PHP file on your server, and you would put an iframe linked to that file as your signature.

And remember, those criteria have to be accesible using PHP code, like IP addresses, operating systems, browser or even time.
