dynamic image help
Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2006 10:42 am
Hey everyone first off I just want to say hi. I'm new, but I should be posting here much more since I am trying to make some money on elance.com to supplement my income.
anyways, I am making a dynamic baby ticker which will count down to pregnancy, birthday, etc. I have all the php code written to generate the image, etc., but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to make it look like an image? It generates the image fine in a browser with the .php extension, but I'd much prefer to be able to generate .gif's for people to link to. I know i've seen dynamic images in peoples avatars, etc., and they are named .gifs, so If someone could just help me figure out how to generate unique images which have an image extension I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks for your time!
