Cant guarantee this will work but try..
/usr/bin/php /home/USERNAME/public_html/forum/signature.php
or if that doesnt work try
/usr/bin/lynx --dump http://www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php

Just call either one if it works every 15 minutes... then use http://www.4xtraders.com/sigfolder/signature.jpg

Ok... now won't I have to create WHERE I want the picture to go to... or it just knows 'where' to put it from the signature.php script itself?

I was thinking I had to create a php just to tell it to create the pic and put it somewhere and rewrite what was there before.

Shouldnt.. and I think youll need to link to signature.png

OK... this is what I have added to my CPanel cron job from the Advanced (Unix Style) options

15 * * * * lynx > /dev/null -dump http://www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php

I have one for my phpAdsNew that looks all the same (minus location) but I have no clue what the hell the 15 * * * * lynx > does but will see.....

anyone know?

Now this /sigfolder/.... is this what the signature.php creates? or where can I find where the cron puts it?

[traderx]

got it all to work great.... what is the limit of size here on vb.org

Thanks DWard and venomx for all your help

[venomx]

Maybe post how you did it so others can know what to do if they wish to do the same thing,

[traderx]

for my cron job... i have cpanel and with my host I use the Advance Unix Style with:

15 * * * * lynx > /dev/null -dump http://www.4xtraders.com/forum/signature.php

The 15 is the duration of time I wanted (15 minutes)... the other * each mean something else. My 15 would be the first * for minute, the second (for the first in the above example) is hour, next is day... month and last is weekday (no clue what that does).

Then I just point to my folder that I have my sig.jpg in... the cron just dumps it where ever it finds it in the script.

Say... what do I do to make my text bold?

[venomx]

I tried it on my server and got a cron error email full of weird stuff.. hehe so I tried another way and so far its working... will see tomorrow how well it did...

I am not sure how to do bold in this

If you want to use a random base image each time the script is loaded:

Find:

PHP Code:

//full path to empty signature image (input image) 


Above Add:

PHP Code:

// Figure out which sig image to use
$rand_number = rand(1,3); 


Change the $vorlagedatei line to something like this:

PHP Code:

$vorlagedatei = "/path/to/your/forums/sig$rand_number.jpg"; 


Create sig1.jpg, sig2.jpg, sig3.jpg and place in your forum root.

If you want to have more than 3 images, change the "3" in the $rand_number line to reflect your number of images.

Hope this is useful to someone.

I cant get the line break to work, and I am using a ttf, any help on exactly where to put it.

I am doing it here

PHP Code:

// ########################### OUTPUT TEXT ###############################
// Use \n\r to make a line break (only for use with truetype font SO FAR)
// Will be developed to use with default font soon :)

//Output text
$output = "Members: $numbermembers \n\r Threads: $totalthreads \n\r Posts: $totalposts";

$vorlage = imagecreatefromjpeg("$vorlagedatei");

if ($sgdver == "1")
{
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height);
} else {
$img = imagecreate($width,$height);
}
