date on clio's homepage

[flipdoubt]

Hey clio,

How did you get that nifty date overlaid ontop of your image?

[tribby]

My guess would be Photoshop (if we're talking about the same date -- that's a static image, not the current date).

[flipdoubt]

Uh, ooops. I guess it has been a long time since I looked at it. I coulda sworn the image was somehow updating the date, but I am soooooo wrong.

My mistake.

[clio]

Yup. It's photoshop. I did the splash page over April break, but I never finished the site, hehe. APs sucked me up after that. I could open the site unfinished, but it's generally not a good idea to open an incomplete site.

It's just the date and then my signature.

What you have accomplished with this post is you have arroused a ducks curiosity.

Why would it be difficult to do a layover of the date and time over an image.??????????????

Simple enough process to use an image even an animation as a bg in a table and use a script to put the time and date into the cell - since that is so simplistic obviously you meant something else WHAT DANG IT??????????

Unfortunately you failed you leave the url for julie's page and I'll be darned if I can find reference to it anywhere - therefore I have no idea what you talking about, shouldn't worry about it - should have just read the post and not let any info or lack there of clog up my ram - but what can I say I'm a duck!!

NEXT TIME THE DUCK IS SUBJEGATED TO THIS TYPE OF UNFULLFILLING POST YOU MIGHT HEAR A RADIO ANNOUNCEMENT


DANGER-DANGER.. irked duck with clogged ram on the loose - BEWARE - His bill is sharp and dangerous!!

p.s. QUACK!! :weyes:

The easy way to do it would be by using PHP's gd library. See the image-related functions at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

I'm using a simple peal script (freeware) called actual time it reports the servers time in aletia's case that is EDT on my site and couldn't quite figure out what flipdoubt was saying - anyway on this page the time and date are on top of an animated gif -

it's duck time.shtml.quack.whocares

Triiby has the ultimate answer - I'm using the image generation function of PHP for the counter on my site -
