well i spent awhile last night(new to php) and finaly put together a .php that reads from a text file and it generates a signature with the text. but i have a problem. many times i have tryed using it as an image(it has the header line) but it doesnt work. the forums say its not a valid image format. wat do i need to do for it to accept it as an image? or is there a way around this?

thanks in advance.

Forums don't accept it because of the extension, it's a security measure. The only way around it is to change it to a valid image extension, and then have your server redirect "image_name/path.jpg" to "php_image.php"

Note: Do not try and do that here, dynamic signatures will get you banned from these forums.

You would have to use htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule sig.gif sig.php

Will simply redirect sig.gif to sig.php
