Randomised Signature [SAMPLE]

[timROGERS]

Here is an example of how to make a randomised signature, that works with vBulletin's URL filtering (I am using it right now):

<?php
// NintendoNews on HabboxForum
// Minimalistic Lyrics Signature

$random = rand(1,4); // How many signature do you want to pick from? Replace 4 with the number


// Make an if statement like this for each signature, replacing
// "1" with the number of signature, and for example symphony.gif
// with yoursignature.gif
if ($random == 1)
    {
        header("Location: symphony.gif"); 
    }
if ($random == 2)
    {
        header("Location: ruby.gif");
    }
if ($random == 3)
    {
        header("Location: crymeariver.gif");
    }
if ($random == 4)
    {
        header("Location: iwrotethegospel.gif");
    }
?>

The comments should be self-explanatory. Now, to make it work with HabboxForum, assuming you have saved the above as signature.php, make a file called ".htaccess" and put the following in it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^signature\.gif$ signature.php

What that does it makes it so that whenever the server detects you accessing signature.gif, it will send you to signature.php, which will then redirect you to the image. Then, you can put it into your signature in the normal way, just use the normal BBCODE, but link to the actually non-existent signature.gif

That is a good guide, well done + Rep

Good work - does it work with av's?

I wouldn't of thought so.

<?
//Chooses a random number
$num = Rand (1,6);
//Based on the random number, gives an image
switch ($num)
{
case 1:
echo "gd/reviewdude.php?text=OMG IYAR!!!! lolol ^_^";
break;
case 2:
echo "gd/reviewdude.php?text=Simon pwns j00";
break;
case 3:
echo "gd/reviewdude.php?text=Check out the poll!";
break;
case 4:
echo "gd/reviewdude.php?text=Becs FTW!";
break;
case 5:
echo "gd/reviewdude.php?text=SUPERLOVE...ZAP!";
break;
case 6:
echo "gd/reviewdude.php?text=Welcome to v5 (:";
}
?>

Same job just a different code ;p

Nice guide Tim.

Nice guide Tim.

no that isn't the same principle? and you could just create a random string in the reviewdude.php file :/

Nice guide but why not just echo the image instead of header?

[timROGERS]

Afaik, you can't echo images - I think you'd have to use GD functions to do it, which I could but there's no point, headers do the job.

[Dentafrice1]

echo "<img src=1.gif>";

you cant echo an image? :\

[nets]

echo "<img src=1.gif>";

you cant echo an image? :\

...and that will work in your signature, how?
