How to make this site?
Could anyone point me in the right direction for how to make a site like this? I'm kinda new to web design, but it looks like it's all done in php.

I haven't looked, but I reckon by now someone will be selling (or letting you download for free) one of those one million pixel scripts on hotscripts.com. I don't think it would be too hard to make your own though.
I doubt the million pixel thing is just one big image, but I haven't checked the source - it's probably HTML table/CSS based.

Using GD wouldn't be that hard in this application, if you had the images you wanted to put together into a 1000 x 1000 pixel image for example, you create the image with imagecreate() and then use imagecopyresized() to place each smaller image into the larger image. From what I recall the milliondollar homepage did use a method like this, and he overlayed an image map on the top of it, which is the right way to do it IMO because having multiple images would complicate non-rectangular regions, and also you could potentially have up to 10,000 image requests each time (not to mention the overhead in filesize that would be saved by just having one huge image)

Maybe your math is not so good. Look again - they are giving out $1,000,000, not $700K, and I would guess that after taxes, that's a pretty big chunk of the profits. Besides, who cares what they do with the rest of the money? I think it's a cool idea, which is why I started this post in the first place.arborint wrote:That site seems like a real scam. Their goal is to take in $5 million and give out only $700k. Maybe they know how bad college kids are a math?
