GD Counter
 
I am needing to raise some money to keep my forum running and have noticed that a number of Forums are using a GD counter to keep their members appraised of the progress of the fundraising.

I would like to include such a counter on my forum but am not sure how to implement it.

If anyone knows how I would love to have the code etc.

Hi

I would just keep the money value in a file and go from there! It's better than doing a query to get that value....

example.....

create a file called 'whatever', my example uses 'funds.php', I use php file so people can not look at what is the value by just calling the file!


Follow me....

create a file called 'funds.php'

Inside that file put....

the money you have collected so far...

Code:
<?

$raised_money = 23.85;

?>

Now create a script called 'fundraising.php'

Put that in your './includes/ directory

Inside that file put this....

Code:
<?
        define ( 'SYS_EOL', ( strtolower ( substr ( PHP_OS, 0, 3 ) ) == 'win' ? chr ( 13 ) . chr ( 10 ) : chr ( 10 ) ) );

        /* define the path to the font to use */

        define ( 'SYS_FSP', './fonts/gooddogcool.ttf' );


        function update_funds ( $file, $value )
        {
                $io = fopen ( $file, 'w' );
                fputs ( $io, '<?' . SYS_EOL . SYS_EOL . '$raised_money = ' . $value . ';' . SYS_EOL . SYS_EOL . '?>' );
                fclose ( $io );
        }

        function display_value ()
        {
                global $raised_money;

                $text = '$' . $raised_money;

                $image = imagecreate ( 164, 40 );
                $backg = imagecolorallocate ( $image, 255, 255, 255 );
                $textc = imagecolorallocate ( $image, 51, 102, 153 );
                $fsize = 36;
                $angle = 0;
                $horzp = 28;
                $vertp = 32;
                imagerectangle ( $image, 0, 0, 163, 36, $textc );
                imagettftext ( $image, $fsize, $angle, $horzp, $vertp, $textc, SYS_FSP, $text );
                header ( 'Content-type: image/gif;' );
                imagegif ( $image );
                imagedestroy ( $image );
        }
?>
You will have to change the path to the font and the font type used!

Now create another file that will be used to call the IMAGE....

I will use 'show.php'....

in that file put this....
Code:
<?

        include_once ( './funds.php' );
        include_once ( './includes/fundraising.php' );

        display_value ();

?>


Now to show the image!


In any template on your forum you would do this....

Code:
<img border='0' src='http://site.com/show.php' height='40' width='160' alt='' />
The result would be...

http://24.91.149.80/show.php


To update the value of money raised you would do this....

Code:
<?

        include_once ( './includes/fundraising.php' );
        update_funds ( '.funds.php', '56.50' );

?>
where as './funds' would be the file you are using to hold the money raised value!
and '56.50' would be replaced with the new real money raised value!

Thanks guys. That is just what I am after. I really need to learn how to search better, I did quickly run a search for this mod but could not find it.

Thanks for your help.
