Alaternating Sig

[cokenn]

I can't remeber who it was, but i saw someone had their sig where everytime you saw it a different time it was different. Was just wondering if anyone could tell me who to do this...

Only thing i remeber is it being a taru in their sig.

You sure (s)he wasn't just changing it constantly? Other than that, there's probably some crazy HTML or something involved. Can't help you there then.

The moat carp countdown? I was changing that one on a daily basis, if that's what you were thinking of.

I do believe that was Daveman's sig if I'm not mistaken, I thought that was an awesome idea, and forgot to ask how it was done

 

[cokenn]

yeah, that's who it was! maybe he'll see this and share!


Edit- Where did i originally post this?

It's just a php script. You can probably find one off google without much effort searching for "random image php" or something. You just need to have a place to host it all that allows php.

I asked Dave about it, he gave me some really complicated coding >_> I dont like codes, I gave up right away lol

Here, I'll quote him:

The code is simple, but you need to be able to make your server parse scripts under different file extention types (edit .htaccess file for apache servers).

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then don't try it =P if you -do- know what I'm talking about, then here's the code, just edit it to suit your needs

Code:
<?php
//place where image is
$img = '/files/images/ffxi/ah/sig/';

$number = rand( 1, 32 );

header ( 'Location: ' . $img . $number . '.JPG' );

?>

random note: phpbb didn't allow .php inside [ img] tags, dunno about VB, however VB seems more strict so I doubt you can get around the .htaccess thing.
