red look!

http://www.google.com/search?q=sig_randomi...=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Perhaps?

EDIT: Click on the only link there. For some reason, I can't post the URL! I paste it into here, but it changes to what Wldkos has when I post!

Hey red, how about some help with this one? I see your sig change all the time using opera...

I have my .htaccess file in my /sig directory with about 15 banners...

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

<?php

//decide what image number we will display
$numberfile = fopen("number.txt","r");
$number=fgets($numberfile,10);
fclose($numberfile);

$number = $number+3; //adding 5 makes it a bit more random

if($number>9)$number=$number-9;

$numberfile = fopen("number.txt","w");
fputs($numberfile,$number."
"); //rewrite the new number to file
fclose($numberfile);

//display the right image depending on what the number is:
if($number==1)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...2_a.jpg");
if($number==2)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...s_b.jpg");
if($number==3)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...k_c.png");
if($number==4)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...m_d.jpg");
if($number==5)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...s_e.jpg");
if($number==6)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...r_f.jpg");
if($number==7)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...s_g.jpg");
if($number==8)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...r_h.gif");
if($number==9)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/s...s_i.png");

?>

Then I have a "number.txt file with just a "0" in it, that's all. What's going on here?

for some reason, the script is using the images with linnks and putting a "/sunkos_i.png%22);" after it.... so it can't find the image since there is no image with a %22 after it (%22 I assume is ";")

Hmm should work, but did you download the number.txt to see if it changed? I know it took my a while on mozilla to see if it worked since it kept caching it even though I told it not to. Opera does not work very well with these sig changers either, especially different sizes.

But that code should work, I think it's just a cache problem.

But check the article again since this part does not work half like I figured it would so I changed it:

$number = $number+3; //adding 5 makes it a bit more random

if($number>9)$number=$number-9;

It just adds the number instead.

I honestly think it's the syntax in the linking since when you click on the image links in my htaccess it gives you and error cuz it's including "');" in the url. I do not know enough php to fix that though.

That's just the forum doing that, it's because it just takes everything after http:// so if there's no space it still takes it, it would have tocheck if the url goes somewhere or not and doing that char by char would be very taxing, and most of the time we put at least one space after typing a url anyway.

Yes, the folder has to be dedicated for the "Fake" image. Don't put real images in there as they will try to run as php.

so right now... I have an .htaccess file with the code linking to the images in there. Then in the same directory I have all the images and the number.txt file with "0" in it. Where do I fix this?

You should have a seperate "normal" folder with real images, then somewhere else a folder that has a .htaccess to turn jpg into php, and then you put the fake jpg file and number.txt, and the jpg file should link to the images in the "normal" folder with the real images.

can't have them all in the same folder? Cuz I am not putting the full url, just relative since the script is with the images.

ok layout:
public_html/sig/ < this is where the files are...
my images (real ones) are in the /sig directory.
I have an .htaccess file in the /sig directory that says this and only this:

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

then I have "number.txt" with only a single "0" (zero) in it.

then I have "sig.jpg" which is the php code renamed to jpg

Code: Select all

<?php
$images = 9; //number of images


//---- file management stuff ----
$numberfile = fopen("number.txt","r");
$number=fgets($numberfile,10);
fclose($numberfile);

$number=$number+1;

if($number>$images)$number=0;

$numberfile = fopen("number.txt","w");
fputs($numberfile,$number."n");
fclose($numberfile); 

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, no-store"); //force browsers to not cache it //display the right image depending on what the number is:
if($number==1)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/sig/bg52_a.jpg");
if($number==2)header("Location: http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/sig/chekaos_b.jpg");

You are still doing it wrong. The /sig directory with the images should NOT have the .htaccess file. Do a /sig/random/ directory and put the .htaccess in there along with the fake jpg and the number.txt and it should work.

Ok I now have /sig with the banners in it and then /sig/random with .htaccess, number.txt and sig.jpp (php code)...

not working.

quite wierd, but almost there... if you go here http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/sig/random/sig.jpg you can see that it's trying to dislpay an image, well atleast in opera, I see the text "image". The complete url is correct to the banners... what if i just put ../../banner.jpg? since it's /sig/random/sig.jpg

I get

http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldkos/sig/random/sig.jpg

The script probably has a parse error or something, look for a missing semi colon and what not.

Can't see why it's not working though. I think it's some kind of miss configuration, like did you chmod to 777? (the folder) it has to be able to read the file and write to it.

all the folders necessary are 777 as of now, and it's still not working. when I use the image though I do this right? <img>http://worldchaos.no-ip.com:12123/wldko ... g.jpg</img>

substitute [] for <>
