Dynamic Image Signature

[Kman]

Hi all,

I would like to create a dynamic image signature (for forum use). The image will interact with a mysql database to display various information.

I believe it is written in php.

Does anyone have any resources on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi kman,

You can generate a dynamic image with PHP using the GD library :
[php.net...]

I know the sort of dynamic .sig you're talking about; and i'd guess what they do is use the features of whatever dynamic image generator they're using to load in a background image and then add the dynamic elements ontop. PHP's GD library supports this; look at the imagecreatefrom....() functions.
