Winamp3 Whatsplaying Signature

Post by WitCh-Fire »

Hi Guys. Im new to PHP (in other words i have no knowledge whatsoever, just a veryyyy small understanding of it)

I dont expect anyone to bend hand over limb for me or anything but im curious about a PHP Script or anything that i can put in my signature (that looks good) that will display my currently playing song, and if winamp is shut down, what song i played last. Im running apache on a Win32 Platform and im kinda desperate. Any help would be sooooo much appreciated id probably Kiss your feet and marry you too (maybe buy you a 16 pack of beer) :) :?:

Ive looked and looked and looked. What would you guys suggest? I dont seem to be having much luck with any of these things. I mean.....ive gotten Whatsplaying to work...but only as a PHP File, thats fine and it displays/works great. But how can i put that into my signature? I just want basic info. Dont mean to sound irritating. :-( :cry:

If you've gotten the currently playing info from Winamp already, then have a look at this page: http://www.php.net/image

As for actually getting the info from Winamp, all I know is that all Now Playing scripts use this plugin: http://www.oddsock.org/tools/dosomething/
You might be able to find some examples about taking that info from Winamp using this plugin and then making a picture out of it.

Awesome Guys! Thans a bunch but i found one that works pretty good with Winamp3, unfortunately as soon as u turn winamp off it doesnt destroy the .TXT File and wont display the image as "Currently Not listening to Winamp" Instead it shows what i played last. BUt oH well. And Thank you two so much for your replies, it got me on the right path, im now addicted to PHP/PHP-NUKE & GD 2.0 :D Image
