No, you can use one of the many image format PHP supports (provided PHP has been installed on your server with the right image lib extensions).

Have a look at www.php.net and search for the image capabilities of PHP. Everything is explained.

The documentation of php is the best I've ever seen (maybe because there is an official one... when a C++ official doc? msdn? pff... lol ) just after the java doc which is so huge... but so useful ! :D

Re: a different sig each time

Another (possibly slightly hackier, but still does the same) way to do this only with out the GD libs, would be something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$filename = sprintf ("sig%d.png", rand (0, 9));

readfile($filename);

?>

Rather than creating a new image, this would just 'dump' the contents of the image, keeping the image headers in tact.

The only main differences between this and the GD version are (like i said), this doesnt require GD, and it can be generated faster, thru not having to create a seperate image.

Re: a different sig each time

i've got a slightly more 'interesting' method here, which will open a dir, read all the images in it, (doesnt matter about filenames, so long as they have valid extentions), then pick one of them at random, and display it if you want it. Would be easier for 'organising' sigs :p

Re: a different sig each time

do you mind giving out the source?.. or something that is easy to change so it fits or another.. i would be pretty happy if you did..

its not very importent to me.. just a cool thing to have.. must add im complete noob when it comes to php coding..
