php Sig Rotate Help

[nikebee]

hey all,

can't get a sig rotation working for some reason.

i've made a www.projectTTA.com/sigs directory on my server where i've got a rotate.php script, then i've got www.projectTTA.com/sigs/sigs where i've got all the actual images kept.

but when i put [*img]www.projectTTA.com/rotate.php[/*img] (minus the asterix) it doesn't work.

two scripts i've tried for the php file are as follows

<?php


$files = glob('{*.PNG,*.png,*.JPG,*.jpg,*.GIF,*.gif}', GLOB_BRACE);
readfile($files[array_rand($files)]);


?>

thats from http://robm.me.uk/articles/image-rotation-in-php/

and i've tried the code from the sticky in General Discusion

<? 

$array[200]; 
$elem = 0; 
$dirname = "sigs"; 
$dh = opendir($dirname); 
while ($file = readdir($dh)) { 
if (!is_dir("$dirname/$file")) 
$array[$elem] = $file; 
$elem = $elem + 1; 
} 

srand((double)microtime() * 10000000); 
$rand_keys = array_rand($array); 
$temp = $array[$rand_keys]; 

header("Location: $dirname/$temp"); 

?>

anyone got any clues as to whats i'm doing wrong?


edit:

the two sigs i'm trying to rotate are at:
http://www.projecttta.com/sigs/sigs/1.jpg
http://www.projecttta.com/sigs/sigs/2.jpg

and both are actually there

Doesn't look like it supports php.

the host does, i'm with NetPivotal's Linux plans that do support it..


a quick note, is that i did have the http://... i just didn't type it in my original post


shall try the plain old notepad bit now (i did it in dreamweaver before)

copied and pasted into notepad, saved as a php...

and... still nothing :-/

any ideas

the only thing in the /sigs directory is the rotate.php(s) file...

then in the /sigs/sigs directory i've got the sigs i want to rotate.

 

[nikebee]

strange, i've popped the three images into the directory with the php script in it and now it just generates random text.

it's definately php enabled, we've had forums on the website before we stopped working on the site, so no problems with php...

hmm... just checked the forums and get this

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

lol yeah
but surely if you just go to www.projectTTA.com/sigs/rotate.php you would see the images anyway? works with everyone elses...

add that to the fact i just previewed

[ img]http://www.projecttta.com/sigs/rotate.php[/ img]

in my sig and it was blank (without the spaces)

LOL well its working a treat now, cheers for the help guys

no idea what was wrong with it, as to be honest apart from making the mistake of putting it into dreamweaver rather than notepad i haven't done anything else to change it

TY again
