PHP Image: How To Show A User Their IP In Your Signature.

[BreShiE]

First of all, I found this on http://www.thesitewizard.com/ so credits go to them for that but I'm writing this out myself.

Requirements:

• A Domain
  
• Hosting For It
  
• Patience
  
• Spare 20 Minutes On Your Hands
  

Okay first of go to your public_html in your cPanel, make a new directory called "img".

Make a file called "index.php" (this then becomes the default page for the img directory)

Inside the index.php, enter this following code:

PHP Code:

<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$my_img = imagecreate( 250, 80 );
$background = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 102, 102, 102 );
$text_colour = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 255, 255, 0 );
$line_colour = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 128, 255, 0 );
imagestring( $my_img, 4, 30, 25, "Your IP Is: $ip",
  $text_colour );
imagesetthickness ( $my_img, 7 );
imageline( $my_img, 30, 45, 220, 45, $line_colour );

header( "Content-type: image/png" );
imagepng( $my_img );
imagecolordeallocate( $line_color );
imagecolordeallocate( $text_color );
imagecolordeallocate( $background );
imagedestroy( $my_img );
?>

Make Sure You Save It!

Okay, that should be done, now go to http://www.YourDomain.com/img and you should see your IP.

Go onto the forum of which you want this is your signature, go to the UserCP and click "Edit Signature".

In your signature enter this following BBCode:

Code:

[img]http://www.YourDomainHere.com/img/index.php[/img]

If you want to get the exact colours for the backgrounds of forums. so it looks just like the text then edit this:

PHP Code:

$background = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 102, 102, 102 ); 


Change it to:

HackForums

PHP Code:

$background = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 102, 102, 102 ); 


SupportForums

PHP Code:

$background = imagecolorallocate( $my_img, 87, 87, 87 ); 


(Want any other forum codes just request them (post forum you want the code for) )



You're Done! Congratulations!
