If anyone knows where I could get a php image rotaion script that rotates
images in order not randomly and that uses image urls for like a tv station
in active worlds, please contact me. Thanks

For an explanation how the timer settings read thread
"TV Station Wish" (started 24 days ago).

If your PHP installation has "fopen URL" enabled, it will work
with exteral URLs if you leave all the docroot / basename stuff
away and readfile() directly the array elements.

Allowing fopen() on URLs is a feature of PHP, that the admin
of your web server can enable or disable.

You can find out all features that your admin allows with a
simple script

<?PHP phpinfo(); ?>

The complete source using fopen of URLs would be like this

<?PHP
$aPics = array (
'http://somehost.com/path/picture1.jpg',
'http://somehost.com/path/picture2.jpg',
'http://somehost.com/path/picture3.jpg',
'http://somehost.com/path/picture4.jpg'
);

$DocRoot = './';


$i = time()%sizeof($aPics);

Header ('Content-type: image/jpeg');
Header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=dummy.jpg' );
readfile ($aPics[i]);
?>

If this does not work, you can still use forwarding :


<?PHP
$aPics = array (
'http://somehost.com/path/picture1.jpg',
'http://somehost.com/path/picture2.jpg',
'http://somehost.com/path/picture3.jpg',
'http://somehost.com/path/picture4.jpg'
);

$DocRoot = './';


$i = time()%sizeof($aPics);

Header ('location: '.$aPics[i]."\n\n");
?>

I tryed both scripts, the first one said "<br />
<b>Warning</b>: readfile("") - Inappropriate ioctl for device "

and the second script that I tryed just gave me a list of the files I had in
the directory that I placed the php file

The message from the first script must be what you get when
your PHP settings (server-side) don't allow URL fopen.


There was one $ missing in the second script :

Header ('Location: '.$aPics[$i]."\n\n");

I tried it now and it works (the $DocRoot line can be dropped).
I just cannot test everything *g

when I try the script, it loads the image file like the url location, so
when I load up the php file it loads up like
http://oct31.de/obj/textures/frower01.jpg or the first image url on the
list of the script, and not the php file and so it dose not refresh. It
only displays a single pic in aw and in Internet explorer it reroutes me to
the image url.

you have to put an update= on the pic object

The reroute is normal, that's what happens when you forward.
Reloading in NetScape sent me a different picture everytime.

If the reload really doesn't work, the current AW browser
checks the redirect and reloads the redirected URL - in this
case your only chance is to find a web space where the PHP
feature "URL fopen" is enabled :(

I have the script on my domain now and will experiment a
little, maybe I'll find a trick (no success guaranteed).

no luck with the forwarding :(

http://www.phparchiv.de/pages/Gratis_Speicherplatz_mit_PHP/ might help,
a german page but links are links. They always mention the language
near the listed provider link (if it isn't german).
