I video-chatted with Lightnin just now and he's making sure to whitelist the images!

hey sparks, would you mind if i used your text renderer in a PHP project I am working on? (you would need to modify it to allow .gif images and to EITHER allow the text renderer itself as an argument OR allow multi-line)

On a completely unrelated note, do you know a good web host for me to use my PHP script? (it must have mysql, too)

sparks · 2012-04-14 17:39:46

Hey joefarebrother,

You are most welcome to take and remix any of the code for this project. It's completely open-source as the first post states and can be used by anyone. A little credit would be nice but is not necessary if you don't want to.

I use hosting24, which is pretty good, it's not let me down so far (apart from not letting me auto-send many emails). The free version of this is the well-known 000webhost which is also good, but has terrible technical support if something goes wrong!

Here's how you could allow multi-line plus more image formats:

Code:

$strings = explode('|', str_replace('_' ,  ' ', $_GET['string']));
if(isset($_GET['bgimage']) && (strstr($_GET['bgimage'], ".png") || strstr($_GET['bigimage', ".gif") || strstr($_GET['bgimage'] , '.jpg'))){
    // create the background
    if(strstr($_GET['bgimage'], ".png"))
        $img = imagecreatefrompng($_GET['bgimage']);
    else if(strstr($_GET['bigimage'], ".gif"))
        $img = imagecreatefromgif($_GET['bgimage']);
    else //jpeg
        $img = imagecreatefromjpeg($_GET['bgimage']);
    
    // All the old code, up to the string positioning and printing

    // print the string
    $xpos = 5;
    if(isset($_GET['xpos']))
        $xpos = $_GET['xpos'];
    $ypos = 20;
    if(isset($_GET['ypos']))
        $ypos = $_GET['ypos'];
    $font_size = 13;
    if(isset($_GET['font_size'])
        $font_size = $_GET['font_size'];
    for($i = 0; $i < count($strings); ++$i){
        $y = $i * imagegetfontheight($font_size) + $ypos;
        imagettftext($img, $font_size, 0, $xpos, $y, $text_colour, $font, $strings[$i]);
    }
    
    // tell browser about content type
    header( 'Content-type: image/png' );
    // create image
    imagepng( $img );
}
else{
    //All the old code, up to setting the width and height

    // Create image width dependant on width of the strings
    foreach($strings as $string)
        $width  = max($width, imagefontwidth($font_size)  * strlen($string)); //set width to longest string
    if(isset($_GET['width']))
        $width = $_GET['width'];
    // Set height to that of the font
    $height = imagefontheight($font_size) * count($strings);
    if(isset($_GET['height']))
        $height = $_GET['height'];
   
    // All the old code, up to positioning and printing the strings

    for($i = 0; $i < count($strings); ++$i){
        $string = $strings[$i]
         // Position of the string horizontally
         if(isset($_GET['ypos']))
            $ypos = $i * imagefontheight($font_size) + $_GET['ypos'];
         else
            $ypos = $i * imagefontheight($font_size);

        // Length of the string
        if(isset($_GET['limitstring']))
            if(strlen($string) > $_GET['limitstring'])
                $string = substr($string, 0, $_GET['limitstring']);
        

        // Loop through the string
        for($i=0;$i<$len;$i++){
            // Position of the character horizontally
            if(isset($_GET['xpos']))
                $xpos = $i * imagefontwidth($font_size) + $_GET['xpos'];
            else
                $xpos = $i * imagefontwidth($font_size);

            // Draw character
            imagechar($img, $font_size, $xpos, $ypos, $string, $color);
            // Remove character from string
            $string = substr($string, 1);   
    
        }
    }
    // Return the image
    header("Content-Type: image/gif");
    imagegif($img);
}

This treats the string as an array of strings and draws them individually.

By the way with those webhosts, is it possible to use the blocks.scratchr.org domain?

EDIT: Wait, my above code just gave me an idea! Instead of having &link1=blahblahblah&link2=blahblahblah&link3=blahblahblah... for the random links, you could just have &links=blahblahblah|blahblahblah|blahblahblah... so you could have an INFINITE number of links separated by pipes PLUS it will make the PHP shorter because you only need to collect 1 parameter instead of 10 by using the explode function to separate a string into an array using a separator such as a pipe (|) or some other character. The code will be

$links = explode('|', $_GET['links']);
$chosen_link = $links[array_rand($links)];

Then return the link or image specified by $chosen_link.
A similar thing can allow checking infinite user's online-ness

Hey. Hi. Cool! I read this earlier but forgot to reply, sorry! It looks pretty awesome, I'll take a look at it in the next few days when I'm a bit less busy and see about implementing it! Sorry for not replying!

joefarebrother · 2012-04-27 14:20:57

hey sparks, what happened to my sig? It's meant to say "I play chess at chess.com" on the chess.com logo. It was working fine a few days ago. Your sig's gone too. Has the API stopped working?

I wonder if he is playing around with the API and that's what makes it keep getting messed up. But at least it is being worked on every so often tongue

bobbybee · 2012-04-28 14:52:36

It's hosted on scratchr.org. The scratchr.org domain has expired. Renewal is expected, but nothing is guaranteed yet.

sparks · 2012-04-28 15:56:10

Amos and Andres from the Scratch team have been notified about this now, as well as the site hosts. Most of the moderator and Scratch Team know about it now too, so don't worry, we're getting it back up and running asap!

This is being discussed in about three threads at the moment, and everyone is doing their best to get it renewed, so please keep discussions about this to this thread!

I'd just like to point out how many people this has helped, and how many people use these. Thank you, sparks for these wonderful APIs and the documentation for them. Keep up the good work!

In the project info, there's the type parameter. Is there anything that can be done with it besides for newest? Is there a way you could get the info of a certain project?

scimonster · 2012-06-27 15:40:19

Something isn't working, and i'm not sure what.

Yup, its the underscore and there's nothing I can do about it sad

Changes:
Added support for getting a project's info by ID, by using action=projects&type=absolute&num=project ID.
Optimized code for finding ID in nth, so it uses explode(). I'm not sure, but you should be able to do explode()[index], right?

Are you guys sure that you cannot fix the underscore bug? I would try, but I don't know any PHP. Bug testing: Just look at my sig.
