Actually it's magic.

Actually I run a server here in my home. I was lazy and setup png files to be executed as scripts :p Then installed a perl script random image generator. The downside is that I can't have any png files on my server without php.exe trying to execute them :\ I don't use pngs or my web server much any more so it's not a problem :p

I still think that "perl.exe" is klinky's code for "1337 team of slave monkeys."

hmm! looks like perl might take a little longer to learn than java and html...

Not sure how you did that yet, but I will work it out...If I knew this post was here it might have made things easier...The closest I have done is a random pic with Java script, but I am starting to learn perl now...
You couldn't say explain that better there Klinky...

Ha!

You struggle while klinky secretly holds the key to the fact that he didn't program the script he simply downloaded it. The hard part is getting a server that allows you to executre a script with the extension of png. Actually it would probably be better if I was using linux and could just do a chmod command on that single .png file :\ But alas I can't since I have winders. :p

Here's the script, it's quite simple :

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Name: Random Image
# Author: ricocheting <ricocheting@hotmail.com>
# http://www.ricocheting.com/perl/
# Date: 02-20-00
#
#  HOW TO USE:
#    this file (randimg.cgi)
#        permission     = 755
#        type of upload = ASCII
#
#    randimg.txt (Create Yourself!)
#        permission     = 766
#        type of upload = ASCII, preferred.
#    To Use:
#	 List each "random" image on a separate line
#
#
# Image List (blah.txt, counter.dat, etc.log)
$image_file = "randimg.txt"; 


# open randimg
open(FILE, "$image_file") || die "error: $!";
@imagename=<FILE>;
close(FILE);

chomp @imagename;

print "Location: $imagename[int(rand($#imagename))]\n\n";

Hey so you're a chick who programs and comes from down unda... GRawwwllll

<creepy tone>I need a picture..... What? What for.... it's for the collection......moi hahhhaah</creepy tone>
