I saw this code by Kirupa for loading random images. So I thought of having random images in my siggy. So I went ahead and made me some siggies with my fav artists in them. And then I upload the siggy images to my server. And then I destroy the world thrice over.
And then I go to the Edit Signature page and paste the code in there with the absolute paths to my images.
Doesn’t work.
Help please.
Please reference a link to kirupa’s code. We don’t have ESP, and alas I haven’t memorized K-man’s site. 
<?php
$file_array = array
('http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/StaindSig01.jpg',
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SlipKnoTSig01.jpg',
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/MansonSig01.jpg',
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SeetherSig01.jpg');
$total = count($file_array);
$random = (mt_rand()%$total);
$file = "$file_array[$random]";
print("<img src=$file></a>");
?>
This is the code. How do I make it work in my sig?
I don’t know… but I’ll be sure to point some people to this thread who might.
Thank you
You’d have to embed a img, that’s actually a php file that selects which image to output.
e.g. use [ img ] http://your-url.com/image.php [ /url ]
And for image.php
<?
$file_array = array
('http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/StaindSig01.jpg',
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SlipKnoTSig01.jpg',
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/MansonSig01.jpg',
'http://www.1am-media.com/Sigs/SeetherSig01.jpg');
$total = count($file_array);
$random = (mt_rand()%$total);
$file = "$file_array[$random]";
$file_pointer = fopen($file);
while(($read = fread($file_pointer)) != EOF) {
echo $read;
}
?>
Something like that, although I’m not sure about all those file functions and parameters.
Thanks a lot… Lemme try that!
NOW it shows that ugly cross thingie…
What you posted in the code quotes, I copied exactly that and saved it as a .php file… Anything else I need to do?
I said the functions aren’t used correctly. On php.net, look up fopen and fread and write correct code.
OK… Will do :thumb:
Sorry but none of your codes worked… Thanks a million for the help though! :thumb2:
harish wrote the code for me on MSN… And it worked right away! Way ta go buddy!
<?
header('Content-type: image/jpg');
$list = "http://domain.com/image.jpg,http://www.domain.com/image2.jpg";
$array = explode(",", $list);
$rand = rand(0, sizeof($array)-1);
$image = file_get_contents($array[$rand]);
print $image;
?>
Thanks .harish! :thumb:
The main reasons your original code wasn’t working was because first off, I don’t understand how a random number divided by the total number of entries in your array returns a remainder of a random number between 0 and the size of your array -1. The second reason it wasn’t working is the header was of a regular HTML file. You printed out an img tag. You were trying to have your footer be an html site 
Second code is as mentioned, incorrect parameters for functions.
edit:/ Kril explained the random thing My bad, didn’t realize a remainder must be less than the number you’re dividing by Woops!
Dude! I dunno a crap about PHP! And I guess I could have relied on Kirupa’s code at least… But my beliefs are now gone…
Give me a link to the code.
It’s the same code you commented on in your previous post Mr. Crpyto! 
:lol:
Yeah, but give me a link to the thread to prove you stupid in some way 
Hush! Don’t say that!
Kirupa will be offended! :lol:
You probably misinterpreted Kirupa’s post. Artificial intelligence v.Kirupa doesn’t make mistakes! Smart butt. 
BUAHAHAHAAHA I hereby announce that thelonephoenix has been officially PWND. Case closed.
[whisper] hehe am getting back at ya for the hi5 thread [/whisper]
No I haven’t been PWND, you ever-PWND-alien-of-all-BUHAHAness!
harish and I were talkin on MSN when he decided to take cheap shots at me on the site just for funny fun.
So by misinterpreting the vibe here, you have PWND yourself once again! :lol:
