File extension question.

Teach

Hello!

I have just made a file called signature.php, which generates staff details on an image custom to our organisation including staff position, email and so on.

We want to use this on phpBB as the signature, but that prohibits .php being used. For example, using:

[ img]url.com/file.php?id=name[/ img]

will not work, as it has .php.

I have tried certain methods, such as .htaccess to get it to accept file.png?id=name in the signature, but run it as PHP and still give out the image.

None of these methods seemed to work, for example .htaccess's "Redirect" didn't, as as soon as the .png was loaded, it was redirected to .php again.

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks so much! 🙂

Oh just as an update to this...

I also tried a .htaccess containing: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .png

However, when the .png was loaded - it DISPLAYED the PHP code... so that didn't work either.
In our code, we do have in it (about half way through): header("Content-type: image/png");

Try using AddType instead of AddHandler:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .png

Hey, thanks for that.
Tried using that, and it just displayed hte php code when loaded as the .png file.

Does it make any difference that I'm running Zeus?

Uh... well probably. I only know that works on Apache... no clue how to configure Zeus, sorry.
