Ok, so I was messing around with Winodws live messenger plus and downloaded Status2ftp. I have set this up, it uploads a .xml document(containing username, PSM[or my song title] and status) & a smaller version of my dp.
I was wondering how I could put the status etc(details.xml) & the display picture(dp.png) onto the windows live messenger background(bg.png)
Cheers for any help..
Sorry, Cant help you here. Maybe try Computer Talk/Computer Help?
Hoepfully someone should help you in there.
Sam
As the person above said, try Computer talk and you will recive a reply from there. This section is more to do with sites. :)
Hope you find what you need.
To be honest it doesn't have any relivance of Computer talk... :rolleyes:
Quite basically, you're wondering how you can make something that udates you're username and status for you're signature.
-- I suggest waiting for Joshuarrr or Mentor replying, they have better knowledge :P
You would need to learn GD and PHP's XML functions.
Something like that Steven, but msn uploads a new version of details.xml & dp.png each minute.
If anyone ould do that i'd be happy x]Quote:
You'll have to use a PHP page to 'paste' the data onto the image. There should be plenty of examples on the 'Net.

Read them, they should help :)
It's to do with msn, which it doesn't have anything to do with web sites, it'd make more sence in computer talk but whatever, it isn't the end of the world. :rolleyes::PQuote:

Yes you would have to use GD. www.php.net/gd look at some of the comments if you don't understand it as they have some samples.
Yeah, I'm new to php & html etc.. so it doesn't help.
If anyone could do it, I would love you forever.
Haven't tested.PHP Code:<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$unparsed = file_get_contents('details.xml');
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($unparsed);
$im = imagecreatefrompng('bg.png');
$dpl = imagecreatefrompng('dp.png');
list($DPLwidth, $DPLheight) = getimagesize('dp.png');
$dp = imagecreatetruecolor(54, 54);
imagecopyresized($dp, $dpl, 0, 0, 0, 0, 54, 54, $DPLwidth, $DPLheight);
imagecopymerge($im, $dp, 16, 38, 0, 0, 54, 54, 100);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagestring($im, 3, 80, 43, $xml->Username, $black);
$dispWidth = (strlen($xml->Username)*7)+85;
imagestring($im, 2, $dispWidth, 43, '('.$xml->Status.')', $black);
imagestring($im, 3, 80, 43, $dispName, $black);
imagepng($im);
?>

Sorry for double post.
When I view the page source it displays this.
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in <b>/home/habats/public_html/tommo/test2.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />
You need PHP5 not PHP4.Quote:

That function is only supported in PHP5 and its a XML function.
I was relating to this error tem.

No that was only displayed because of the XML error. There is not a problem with GD.Quote:

That's on Apache/2.0.55, PHP/5.1.2. What version of PHP are you running?
