Blinkies

*frowns* I wanted to make my OWN blinkie... so I could put pics of my pets on it and stuff like that. Oh well, I'll find one that suits me.

Hey, I could build a few just the way you want it. Give me a few days to get back to New York... then get back to me on that. I'll be happy to make you a few. I'm in Texas and am using my parent's computer... without any graphics-editing programs. I do have Fireworks and ImageReady in New York, so I could get that done for you quickly as soon as I get to my computer. For now, go ahead and email me the pictures and stuff (such as text, quotes, etc) that you want... and I'll see what I can do to create a few for you. :thumb:

Those that have random signature images are because of two things: I'm helping them or they are doing it themselves.

Deaf258 gave us those files long ago. You can easily create them yourself. It's the uploading that might be a problem. In order to do it yourself, you would need a server where you have full control over it. One file can't really be made on the computer cuz most operating systems don't allow that file to be created. That's why you have to create it under a different name, upload it, then change it there.

I tried to do it myself but somehow I did it wrong cause it did not work, when I put the images together, it show a red X at the bottom and the image picture did not show up, then I tried to add a number at the end of each file name, still it did not work.....I dunno what I did was wrong here, maybe it easy for others but I'm more confused on how to get it work on my own so I can do it on my own server

Afterall, U are talking to a ' blonde ' here...LOL
 
Create a text file and type in the following:
Code: 
AddType application/x-httpd-php .gif
Rename that text file as:
Code: 
.htaccess
Create another text file and type in the following:
Code: 
<?php

$URL1="signature_01.gif";
$URL2="signature_02.gif";
$URL3="signature_03.gif";
$URL4="signature_04.gif";

srand((double) microtime() * 1000);
$random = rand(1,4);

if($random == 1)
@header ("Location: $URL1");
elseif ($random == 2)
@header ("Location: $URL2");
elseif ($random == 3)
@header ("Location: $URL3");
elseif ($random == 4)
@header ("Location: $URL4");

?>
The first section is for listing all images. The second part "rand(1,4)" is to match the number of images. For 6 images, replace "4" with "6". For the last section, add another "elseif" statements for additional images. After that's done, rename that text file to anything you want but with ".gif" at the end. For me, I usually change it to "signature.gif" and have all the other image files in the same directory as the randomizer file. :thumb:

Most operating systems won't allow files to be renamed like that so you may have to do it after uploading it online. :type:
