Output this to file..

Ok. As you can see, it shows an image. I am wandering if there is a way that I can get this into a .gif format? I generate the image using php, but there are some forums that I want to use it as my signature, but it won't show up because it is index4.php.

Any help is appreciated.. thanks!

Sure.. when you call [man]imagegif/man or [man]imagejpeg/man, just send the second parameter, and it will output it to a file instead of to the browser 🙂 (no screaming!) Then you just reference the image as you normally would 🙂 (no screaming!)

Now, you'd need to set up a CronJob (google it) to update the image every once in a while.

imagegif(image handeler, 'my_signature_image.gif');

Thanks man.. gotta ask though.. Why ya gotta scream like that?

Oh, sorry. It's not screaming. It's just emphasis. I'm happy, excited, to help. Something easy. Not screaming, so please don't take it as that.

Haha kk. One more question to add..

I take it that the line I need to fix is this one:

ImageGif( $im );

Ive tried adding what you had but I just get an error.. sorry, im not very experienced in this part of php.

-- Nevermind.. fixed it. Me and my stupid spaces between $im and the ( & ).

Read the manual. Not sure what error you get, but it should work.

[man]imagegif/man
