Signature Badge Script

yeah, I made mine look crap so no one actually used it

I've made some changes to the code, nothing much, some personal formatting preferences and small stuff

http://74.117.232.136/sig.php

and for source: http://74.117.232.136/sig.php?source=1

We do not want your server to look like that, for sure. But thanks for the sig! I'm actually learning PHP in College and loved looking at your code, it looks so simple and yet does such a useful tool.

Nice, the code is formatted much better now.

PHP:

header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', false);
header('Pragma: no-cache');

For anyone who wants to know, this is the proper way to make sure the image isn't cached by the browser. Me being lazy, I didn't include it and just left it up to the browser.
If you want to achieve the opposite effect in order to reduce load on your server, you can do something like this:

PHP:

header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=500, must-revalidate, public');

Max-age is in seconds, so if you don't want any browser to request a new copy of the image until five minutes after they got their last copy, you would set max-age to 500. However, you should note that you can't force browsers to cache stuff. For some reason, my installation of Firefox on this computer doesn't cache anything, and I don't really know why.

Google Images.

Shall I just leave you to work that out again?

The software haven't even been released yet and people are consuming it's REST resources. Awesome I can see the extendability here.

One of the main things I noticed was $black, had to move it after $final was defined and change $img to $final, otherwise:

Code:

[Sat Jul 31 15:28:06 2010] [error] [client *removed*] PHP Warning:  imagecolorallocate() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in /var/www/html/sig.php

If you're asking how to implement it, all you have to do is set a couple of headers before you output the image. See my post above. Otherwise I'm not sure what you're asking...

No, I'm talking about maths

Well I was just providing an example.

Nice catch. Updated.

Thanks for sharing your script Eriksrocks. Nice job!

Very nice to see people working together.

Dude! Just... dude. Lol. Very nice =)

You just wrote these today, didn't you? I must say, very impressive and I'm looking forward to more of this type of stuff.

I got that feeling too, lol.

I've made mine prettier now need to tweak it lots though

Dang, I'm making something like that right now and now you'll think I stole your idea.



Great minds think alike, right?
