How do you make a rotating sig?

Would be cool to rotate different images for my sig. Same one gets a bit boring.

If you're interested there's also AMSG, will let you display random quotes on top of the image as well. If you just want random images though, the way above is probably much simpler.

For some reason it doesnt work for me. Uploaded the rotate.php and changed my sig but no images are displayed. They are all in the same directory so thats not the problem.

I tried that additional code but I can't upload it as I get some error message. :confused:

Don't listen to these noobs, best way is to open another window with User CP inside and keep manually changing your signature.

Works perfectly and you don't need none of this PHP nonsense.

I use this code for my sig. Probably not the most efficient but it works pretty well, just stik the images in the same folder as this script.

PHP:

<?php

//Total Image Files
$total = "3";

//Image Extension
$file_type = ".jpg";

//Image Location
$image_folder = "";

// You do not need to edit below this line

$start = "1";
$random = mt_rand($start, $total);
$image_name = $random . $file_type;

//Output Image
$image = ImageCreateFromJpeg($image_name);
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
ImageJpeg($image);

//Clean Up
ImageDestroy($image);

?>

That doesnt work either. Must me my host (tried eclipse webspace and sobroadband). :confused:

Do they even support PHP?

Any free php supported sites then as I think they dont support php.

Email me a zip of your sig images and I'll stick them and the rotater script on my webspace for you

Don't know what happened to rob but he hasn't responded to my emails. Anyone else care to host 3 images for me with the rotater?

(Wish I never thought about having a rotating sig now geez)

I went out, it's only been like 24 hours :confused:

Wasn't aware a forum sig was that important!
