Ok, the best I can give you is an example of what I am talking about:
http://my.livecard.n...10/G2Ladmin.png

Notice in place of G2Ladmin you can put any gamertag and it generates an image according to that gamertag. How can I do this?

Edit: What I basically want to do is detect what image name the user typed into the address bar and then generate an image based on that information. For example, kenpowers.png would have an image that said kenpowers on it somewhere.

Dynamic images can be created with the help of php.

Do a google search on it, or check this link http://www.phpbuilde...us19990124.php3, might suit your needs

Good luck!

A very basic image generation script that is based on GET data, and a little .htaccess will do the job.
Here's an example of what the .htaccess for that image you gave a link to would most probably be.

RewriteRule ^xbox10/(.+).png$ /xbox10/sig-generator.php?name=$1 [nc]

Of course they might have used a different approach, but that is the easiest way.

Should be easy enough for you to find a script to generate a simple image and adopt it for your own use. (Hint: I've posted such script not too long ago in this very forum for someone else.)
