Alright, so recently I decided to make some dynamic banners for my clan and so I am here to share the coding.

Save the following in a notepad as a ".php" file.

<?php

    $sigImage = array("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", "img3.jpg"); // Add/remove with the different filenames of you sig backgrounds

    // RANDOMIZE BACKGROUND //
    // Chooses a background from an array at random for the sig
    $sigIndex = rand(0, count($sigImage)-1);
    $sigImage = $sigImage[$sigIndex];
    // The main image to put the stats over.
    $imageExt = explode(".", $sigImage);
    if(strtolower($imageExt[1]) == "jpg"){
       $image   = imagecreatefromjpeg($sigImage);
    }elseif(strtolower($imageExt[1]) == "png"){
       $image   = imagecreatefrompng($sigImage);
    }else{
       die("Unsupported filetype!");
    }


    // WRITE OUT THE IMAGE //

    header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
    imagejpeg($image, NULL, 100);
    imagedestroy($image);

?>

Here is what should happen if you have the coding and images correct.
Refresh a few times to see the 3 different banners

1.) Must have file host (i.e. x10hosting.com)
2.) You must replace the "img#" with the wanted image.
3.) To get the banner to change in teamspeak, open the Virtual Server Editor, paste the link to the dynamic banner, and lastly change the Gfx timer to a minimum of 60 (this number determines how often it will change, this is counted by seconds).

That looks real nice... I try it out, and see how it works...

I'll Let you know, if there are any problems...

1 Question.

1.) Must have file host (i.e. x10hosting.com) 

Couldn't it be possibul just to add a IP instead?

xx.xx.xx.xx:/Teamspeak Folder Name/Banner Foldername/banner.php

because what you wrote in the code, schould be able to function.
Very simpel and straight...

Cheers Matey...

I believe this should work, but I have not been able to test it yet, but if it does work please do let me know

[Miscni]

Well I cant see the banner, but something is moved in the top of my TS, so in a way it does work...

But when I have it fully function, then I let you know.

and thx for the reply

cheers

I have implemented this today, it resolved the problem I had when our clan spawned a training wing.

Works a treat, thanks very much.

Works like a charm! I use PNG instead and relative paths (since pictures and php are hosted on same site).


Thanks for your work

hmmm why dont you just make an animated gif with the 3 pics?
this should work without any problems...

heh, I hate when someone comes along and blows up perfectly good code with a perfectly good idea... =)

BUT, I can still see uses for this. It's easier to add/remove images mostly, than editing an animated GIF. You can also run different promotions and whatnot to display different banners based upon other criteria, etc.

So I think the simple solution of an animated GIF works, but there are many instances in which solutions such as this are necessary/desired as well.

I'm at least happy to see that some people are finding this useful =D

And if you want abanner using more colors than a gif supports, then this is the way

guys, is it possible to alter the script as something that he supported formats gif

[SilentStorm]

As long as PHP Supports Image Manipulation for the Filetype...
