Do I need to install some PHP files onto my server to use the php file? I download a bunch of php stuff but am not sure which ones I need to upload to my site.

First, your host must support GD (http://www.boutell.com/gd/) as well as PHP in general -- which is highly likely. If this is the case, upload the sigx.php file as well as the sigxmonster2.png if that is the image you wish to use for your sig generation.

Of course, carefully read through the readme first and edit sigx.php to your own settings. That's all you need to do.

Hi, I cant seem to get it to work, the editing part seems ok and straight forward, but it still doesnt work.
I asked a friend if there was something I was doing wrong since he knows php.

Quote:
It doesnt seem it could work. For example, main function drawIt has
hardcoded its parameters in its definition, so it overrides everything
including your bcg image.

Also it says bcg image can be URL, but than function file_exists is
used in it, but this function works only with local files, with remote
files it returns false so script will skip bcg image.

heh, i dont remmber testing remote images with the php code, that maybe right, try removing the file_exists. or place an image in same folder as the php file itself.

if the result page comes out blank and not give you any image (with no errors), try replacing the imagecreatetruecolor() to just imagecreate() functions.

hi thanks :) replacing the imagecreatetruecolor seemed to work :)

is there any way I can edit the lines it displays?

the Ram line is too long and I just want it to say %free and total but Ive a feeling its in the sigx.exe
I also wanted to change the font completely, is that possible?

You can change the prefix in lang.ini, but after the first part, its hard coded

search: "remote sigx + gd ttf font"

on the forums
without quotes

You can also make your whole image appear sharper by using a PNG

Thanks :) that helped a lot.

when I make it a png it seems as if its 256 colours and it looks crap :)

now I just need to get on with the random bg thingy :)

did you use imagecreate or imagecreatetruecolor ?

the trucolor will keep the high quality.

if its your server, try upgrading your GD if not, ask the admin to upgrade it for you.

I also have a problem with imagecreatetruecolor(). I had to use imagecreate(). Guess my host doesn't update yet. So I stick with GIF 256 colors. It works just fine.

Heh, this is very cool. Thanks a lot! :D

it is very possible to modify text while its already recived by the code. look around the forum for sample code, i think i discussed this already somewhere. use search.

if you dont know php too well, you might be out of luck :)
