Show currently playing song in signature/some talk about music & sigs (Page 3 of 3)

NOTE. My host charges an extra $20 USD/year for unlimited subdomains. (I just have to make a directory called subdomain.scottywz.com or sig.scottywz.com or whatever.)
1. I made a directory called sig.scottywz.com (see above); however, you can call it whatever. Or, you can just skip this step.
2. Make a file called quotes.php like you did. It is easiest to call it that, but if you HAVE to call it something else, edit

include "quotes.php";

(see below code) to whatever.
3. Make a file called index.php with:

    /* 
     * The options that are listed below may be specified in the url if the allowParameters option is 
     * true.  To do so first append a question mark ? to the end of the url.  Next, specify the option 
     * name followed by an equal sign = and then the value; for example, option=value.  Multiple options 
     * are specified by separating them with an ampersand &; for example, option1=value1&option2=value2. 
     * Enter %26 to specify an ampersand & character in the url, %3D for an equal = sign. 
     * 
     * The username option is an exception and is always allowed to be specified in the url, but whether 
     * or not it is actually used depends on other options. 
     * 
     * All parameters may be specified by their regular name or by a short form; the short form that can 
     * be used is specified in parenthesis at the beginning of the parameter's description.  The general 
     * naming convention for the short name is to use the first letter of each word comprising the name. 
     * Be aware of conflicts though, such as backgroundColor (bc) and borderColor (bdc).  Whether the 
     * full or short name is used specify the parameter name in lowercase. 
     *

Fiddle around with this if you don't have/want a song to be displayed.
4. Fiddle with quotes.php so that it contains the quotes you want.
5. In your sig, add [img ]*&&**&&*&&^^*&%%*&%[/img ] (where *&&**&&*&&^^*&%%*&% is the path to the index.php (or whatever) file).

In the query string, you can put in ?action=all_quotes and it will dump all the quotes. One problem: It does the same thing as ?action=random_quote which I have that way because, with variables $q[1], $q[2], etc., I want to display all those variables (they contain ^the quotes), but I don't know how. How do I get it to do that?

scottywz you should look at making your signature cache itself, its REALLY slow for me, rather annoying since it loads about 3 min after the rest of the page and makes everything move

What would we do without browser caches?

XMMS has a plugin called "Song Change" that runs a command you specify when the song changes. I set it to the command

php send.php "%s"

the script base64 encodes the title to keep the special chars, and calls a file on the server with ?song=whatever that decodes and writes it to a text file. The file song.php makes the graphic when called.

$im = imagecreatetruecolor(600, 30);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagecolortransparent($im, $gb);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 255);
$song = file_get_contents('song.txt');
$song = $song ? $song : '[Offline]';
imagestring($im, 5, 0, 0, "Now playing: $song", $textcolor);
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);

You need to be running php locally to use this method of course , but I'm sure there are other ways,
