NEED HELP - Display Dynamic images

[Nott32]

Ok I have a problem.... I created a script that generates images but I cant show them in the forums using BBCode or on websites. Is there a way that I can make links like

http://nottnetworks.com/gamertag/gts1.php/gamertag.png
(so if people replace gamertag in front of .png it would show their info....)


instead of

http://nottnetworks.com/gamertag/gts1.php?tag=Nott32




Image Generator:

PHP Code:

 <?php
//GamerTag generator style #1
//Scripted by Nott32
//Copyright (C) 2006 Nott Networks
include 'gamercard.php';

header('Content-type: image/png');
$string = $gamertag;
$stringsc = $gamerscore;
$im    = imagecreatefrompng('1.png');
$orange = imagecolorallocate($im, 000, 000, 00);
$px    = (imagesx($im) - 7.8 * strlen($string)) / 2;
$pxsc    = (imagesx($im) - 7.8 * strlen($stringsc)) / 1.4;
imagestring($im, 4, $px, 17, $string, $orange);
imagestring($im, 4, $pxsc, 37, $stringsc, $orange);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

GamerCard.php

PHP Code:

I just tried using it in a website and it worked fine when I linked to your example, are you sure it doesnt work?

Anyways, hopefully you are able to use htaccess and have an apache host and then this will work for you

Your .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
 
RewriteRule ^gamertag/(.+).png gts.php?tag=$1 [nc]

just add that to a text file and when you save it, just save it as ".htaccess" and upload it to the directory you want this to work in.

Lets say you add this to: "http://nottnetworks.com/"
then when people go here : "http://nottnetworks.com/gamertag/Nott32.png" it will actually go to : "http://nottnetworks.com/gts.php?tag=Nott32"

To see it in action, I made a script call gts.php in my root folder (www.mordero.com) and when you go to "http://www.mordero.com/gamertag/{insert stuff here}.png" it will print what you put in there, like this
http://www.mordero.com/gamertag/test.png will print "test"

the only limitation I noticed was you cant have a question mark in the stuff you insert

edit: damn that stupid automatic titles, its so annoying

[Nott32]

Thanks! It seems to work now... You are a life saver!

[mordero]

yep, no problem

[Nott32]

Still cant give u Rep+ >_<!

[mordero]

lol its no problem, still have problems with the other link thing?

[Nott32]

No actually I figured out it was because I wasnt using the BBCode so the script didnt automatically parse http:// links and then when I tried yours it was messing with my images and I didnt need it anyways so theres no use working on it lol. But your help is greatly apreciated...sorry if im sound rude its 1AM and im cranky...

[mordero]

haha its fine
