Make your own PHP adoptables system

[SelkiesSong]

Sweet, it worked. Not sure why that one uploader wouldn't take it, since the file was going to the same place anyway... XD

Thanks!

EDIT: Hmm...now the image on the adopt page isn't showing up.. D: No image shows up at all, and when I added the //, it just showed up as a broken image box instead... -goes to read through all the pages again-

EDIT2: Ah ha! I had a space in my key php. XD All better now!

I'm going to experiment with this now to see if I can't answer it myself, but I'm assuming we can do all of our page building html on the same php code, since it's basically the page itself?

Edit 3: N/m, answer's yes. ^_^"

I'm back! :D Yes, that's right, I'm here to annoy everyone again!
Just kidding XD

I've been busy for the last....uh, couple of months and I haven't had time to edit codes and stuff. Today I decided to try it out again and found that old code for putting writing on adopts. I tried putting the codes in simple.php but it didn't work. Surprisingly, it didn't come up with an error, but the image wasn't showing. So I guess it works a bit...

Anyhow, just wondering, do I put the codes in simple.php or adopttools.php? And also what do I put in the image source bit?
This is the code:

Code: Select all

$text='$_REQUEST['ownername']\'s Pet';
$imgname='image';

$im = @imagecreatefrompng($imgname);
$color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,0,0);
imagestring($im, 10,0,0, $text, $color);
imagesavealpha($im, true);
header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

It's the $imgname='image'; but where the image source bit needs to go. I tried doing something like $_REQUEST['id'] or $adoptable=find_adoptable($_REQUEST['id']) and that didn't work D:

Yes, I'm very annoying XD This is the last thing I need help with though, unless I ever find/make codes for an account system, which won't be for a few years XD

Thankyou so much Nick, thanks to you, my adoptables website is a success!

I'm really sorry, after a loooong long time I'm annoying you again ^^°

I'm still trying to make the adoptables grow up after a set number of days instead of a date and I already tried about what feels like 100 different methods but none of them worked... and I kind of don't understand why, because when I tested it in a test.php it did work.

I'm not asking how it works, I have just a very simple question:

Why can't I change these lines in simple.php without making the script corrupt:

Code: Select all

foreach ($variation->age as $age) {

   if (!isset$age['date'] || time() > strtotime($age['date'])) {
      $pickedAge=$age;
   }
}


I saved the adoption date in a database, I selected the date with UNIX_TIMESTAMP and put the id and the date in a row ($row[0] and $row[1]) and wrote if (!isset$age['date'] || time()-$row[1] > $age['date'])
and $age['date'] are the days that need to pass in seconds...

The question is: Is it even possible in that way or do I think in a totally wrong direction?

You're missing the brackets on the argument to isset(): isset($age['date'])

Otherwise, that sounds correct.

Thanks, I changed it, but sadly it still doesn't work... *sigh* Well, I'll just search everything for errors and if I don't find any, I'll just try something else again.
The adoptables just won't grow up. It's always the baby image that's displayed ^^°

What values end up in $row[1] and $age['date'], exactly?

If you're getting an error message, you need to post it. You can see errors generated by the pic generating script by saving the broken picture to your computer, then opening it with a text editor like notepad.

$row[1] is the adoption date, which I selected from the database with UNIX_TIMESTAMP and
$age['date'] are the days, that need to pass before it grows up, in seconds

If you're getting an error message, you need to post it. You can see errors generated by the pic generating script by saving the broken picture to your computer, then opening it with a text editor like notepad.

I don't get any error messages. The image just stays the same, the adoptables don't grow up like they should.

That's what you expect to be in there. But what actually ends up there? Print it out with echo(), then use the trick of opening the resulting corrupt image in notepad to see the results.

While you're at it, PM me the code you're using.. .
