JavaScript -> Auto-updating Image

[Phaze]

Well a few things first.

In PHP/ASPX and such it's meant to grab the image data and output that directly from the PHP file iirc (it's like how you sometimes save images with a ".php" extension, though header magic can make it output as a regular image file).

Second, compilation is unnecessary in PHP, the interpreter just reads the code outright.

Third, I'm willing to take a stab at this for you and put it on PhazePages, assuming my host won't complain (I don't think they would, the site is pretty resource light considering NOTHING IS ON IT ). God knows I need to start being useful EVENTUALLY. Who knows, maybe I'll finally start working on Mask '_;

I've done something similar to this with Boo Mansion's Duelist Card thing before; I'd link it but I dunno if I'll have the ghost of Booton hounding my ass because I'm hosting BMTCG cards offsite whenever I put it up ¦D

It was actually much more complex than this job since I had to assemble an image from several composite images, allow recoloring and such, whereas this one is just 'replaying' the image data, I suppose. I could probably have a 'cache' image on-site too to prevent bandwidth consumption from the Dilbert comics site, too. Just retrieve it once per day. If you want I'll post the code in here when I'm done.

Oh, and a final note; even if you got the JavaScript for this working per se, I don't think it'd work in your sig on tSR. Security and general maliciousness concerns!
