Hi guys. Just a quick question. I'm not a PHP expert, so I'm wondering how I could add a dash between the artist and song. The station I'm using this for doesn't play "songs", it plays mix sets so it wouldn't make much sense to have "Artist:" and "Song:".

Here is an example of what it looks like now, just need to add a dash in between the artist and 'song name'.

Thanks

-Mark

EDIT: Or even better to have it just take whatever the SHOUTcast server is outputting as the title, because some of our broadcasts don't have a dash in them, some of them just say "DJ Mark Live" and that's it.

EDIT2: Look at the title now. It's supposed to say "(Live!) DJ Entertijn - Hardstyle Mix" but it's overlapping wierd. If I can get it to just output whatever the shoutcast server is sending on one line that would be great.

Also I notice now that the bottom of the image is getting cut off. That black border around it was all the way around it before, but now you can see it's not at the bottom.

I haven't changed anything since then.

I'm getting a 404 on the links

GIjoe2 · 20th November 2004, 16:52

Can someone post the unedtited script here, im getting a 404 error while viewing the page

Vchat20 · 8th December 2004, 01:06

sorry for bringing up a "supposed to be" dead topic, but im having some slight issues with your code Ruffdawg. but before i forget: GIjoe, check a few pages back. ruffdawg posted the working code in response to someone else posting their code which was "messed up".

now, heres the trouble: my site runs phpnuke. ive been trying to put some kind of now playing message in the header, but for some stupid reason, it wont allow any php code. it somehow omits all the php code put up there. so my last resort has been to use this sig code, but modified somewhat. ive managed to reduce it to a single line, and ive changed the background image to a gif so i can use transparencies (all that shows on the site is the now playing words, nothing else). in addition, instead of having the "Now Playing:" part of the bg image, i want it outputted as part of the actual song title. ive managed to do this. but when the station is running, it says "Now Playing: Array" instead of "Now Playing: Artist - Title". any ideas? heres the link to the image: http://www.pokeradio.com/images/np.php (may be hard to see on a white background. aamof, it IS hard to see on white. lol). and here is my code:

?>

also, is there any way that the text can be centered in the image instead of starting from a set start point?

101 · 8th December 2004, 07:02

PHP Code:


			
$string1= "Now Playing: " . $song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]);

You're getting the type of $song [Array] instead of one of its values, that's because you're concatenating an array [explode() returns an array] but you don't specify an index. Besides, if you want the string in one line, you don't need explode() anyway. Modify that part with this:

PHP Code:


			
// song information is splitted in artist - title:

// This requires consistent artist & title format (no ' - ' in title/artist)

// else you can use $numbers[6] as current song info below

        //$song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]);

        $song = $numbers[6];

         

// strings can of course be replaced with your own idea's

        //$string1= "Now Playing: " . $song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]);

        $string1= "Now Playing: " . $song;

    }

    else {

        $string1= "PokeRadio is Temporarily Offline";

        

    }

To center the text, add something like:

PHP Code:


			
// positioning below

//(image,font (from 1 to 5),starting x position, y position,line of text,color)



    $px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string1))/2;

    $font = 3;

    $centerx = imagesx($im)/2-(imagefontwidth($font)*strlen($string1))/2;

    $centery = imagesy($im)/2-imagefontheight($font)/2;

    ImageString($im,$font,$centerx,$centery,$string1,$text_color1);

    Imagegif($im);

Hope it helps.

Look on the forum for my post, i could do it for you for £1 via nochex

101 · 2nd January 2005, 01:42

@dannidj: Probably, probs with the host where you're running the script. They could have disabled the fsockopen() function or they could be blocking outgoing connections to certain ports. Ask them about it or run the script on another host.

snuupaluupa · 2nd January 2005, 06:33

The error was:
HTTP 404 - Page Not Found

Sorry, this page is not available

what?

Vchat20 · 30th January 2005, 05:26

sorry for bringing up the topic yet again, but does anyone know how i can make it so it seperates the artist from the song title using the last hyphen it finds? because many of the songs i have use a hyphen in the artist field and its confusing the now playing script.

chrissiffer · 30th January 2005, 12:56

can someone paste me a working code script. mine seems to get an error

Well, considering the complete script posted on this page, this will do the trick:

PHP Code:


			
if($success!=2 && $connected==1){

    $song = explode(" - ", $numbers[6]);

    $string1 = substr($numbers[6], 0, strrpos($numbers[6], "-"));

    $string2 = $song[count($song)-1]; 

    $string3= "$currentlisteners/$maxlisteners";

} else {

    $string1= $offline1;

    $string2= $offline2;

    $string3= $offline3;

}

ruffdawg · 5th April 2005, 01:27

Hey guys, Just to let you know, you can always find the latest version of the script at http://www.ruffdawgradio.com/sig.phps

This is the best way of obtaining the code, since it is not edited, unless more cool features are added.

I am very open minded about the open-source community, so if you feel there are some features that should be added, please feel free to email me at admin@ruffdawgradio.com

Thanks

there you change that.

Sorry could you please try giving me a link which works to download this script I just want a plain background if possible so the background is see through like so it matches a forum layout. I Guess I need a few files to upload for this I tried the link but got nothing from it

Thanks.

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....6#post1536486, copy the php script from there.
ajust the color settings and you have it.

Vchat20 · 10th April 2005, 20:10

if you check my website, the now playing at the top uses this same script. what i did to make the background see through was create a long gif file to fir that part of the site. made it all black. then took it into irfanview and saved it and made the black transparent.

MrAnthonyWong · 14th April 2005, 03:28

Ruffdawg is ther a way to cahnge the font, or are you working on that? and what font is being used now on it? I want to try to match it up.

Vchat20 · 14th April 2005, 17:52

the font depends on the web server. it uses system fonts.

Wavestreaming · 14th April 2005, 19:44

You can upload a font to the server and get the script to generate the image based on the font.

Google it, I can't remember off the top of my head - but i've done it before.

the script is very simple. all the data is shown on one line, and its centered in the image.

the associated image is also attached. one note though, to keep the transparency, make sure that whatever program you use to edit the gif (if you need it edited) can set the transparency. then just make sure the black becomes transparent.

Josh2004 · 22nd April 2005, 11:28

ok... I am being incredibly stupid here I know

Bit if I go to my pahe of php scripting I presume I save it as something.php and then go there and get an image? or am I being stupid? I thought before when I tried this that you had two scripts and one generated an image and the other one didn't... I just see script when I go to the place where I have the script and yes the server can run .php scripts! So Where or what the hell do I do now to get this thing to work!!

ruffdawg · 24th April 2005, 03:52

Okay I just wanna quickly point something out. The script that Vchat20 has been edited so you can use the .gif file in conjunction with the script. The one I offer on my site if for .png extentions. Both extententions offer transparency.

Josh2004, its not 2 scripts, its one script, and a picture file in the same folder. The script calls the picture file. sigpic.png is the default.

Would anyone find it easier if i zipped the script and a default background file? doing so, i'll clean up/add to the code and re-releasing the script.

Vchat20 · 24th April 2005, 04:07

dont matter to me. im quite satisifed with it. heck, if it wasnt for your script, id be shit up a creek right now trying to figure how to show the now playing song in my sig/site.

btw, IE doesnt show true transparency with png's. for example, if i was to use a png as the background for my sites np script, the top behind the song title would be grey.

OTR4ME · 23rd June 2005, 21:35

Hi, I have the sig code working fine on my site; but I play Old Time Radio shows from the 1930's, 40's and 50's with a little old music mixed in. My problem with the script is that many of my shows have comma's, dollar signs, pound signs, etc. in either the author or title fields; so they don't display correctly.

For instance I just played:
Tarzan, Lord Of The Jungle - 511108 (44) Adventure On The Road To Timbuktu

and the sig script only displayed "Tarzan".

I'm already using this to get past any dashes:

$song=$numbers[6];

Any help for a non-php guy!????

Thanks!!!

OTR4ME · 27th June 2005, 22:08

OK... I went out and bought 2 PHP books and I figured it out for myself!!! Here's my code mods to allow commas in the artist/title..

PHP Code:


			
// mods for OTR

$title = " ";

for ($num = 6; $num <= count ($numbers); $num++) {

    $title = $title . "$numbers[$num],";

    };

$titlelen = strlen($title) - 3;

$song = trim(substr($title, 0, $titlelen));

// end OTR mods

The sig block is too large to display here (its for email)
http://www.bobmerritt.com/OTR/bobsig.php

and I'm NO programmer, so please don't ask me to explain. I'm just good at figuring some scripting out.

Thanks,
Bob

I am having a bit of an issue. I am using the php script posted here by DJRampage a while back. I got the script working (half way) it just doesn't show what song is playing ect...
Here is my php file:
http://www.jcnoveltyshop.com/images/signa.php

I have edited the script temporarily to always show that it is online, because right now the script is going right to saying that it is "offline"

Here is my script:
Can anybody help me and point out any problems?

<?php

Header("Content-type: image/png");

$host = "radiofuckers.serverroom.us";
$port = "7218";
$listenlink = 'http://radiofuckers.serverroom.us:7218/listen.pls';

$fp = fsockopen("$host", $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
if(!$fp) {
$success=2;
}
if($success!=2){
fputs($fp,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: XML Getter (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");
while(!feof($fp)) {
$page .= fgets($fp, 1000);
}
fclose($fp);
$page = ereg_replace(".*<body>", "", $page);
$page = ereg_replace("</body>.*", ",", $page);
$numbers = explode(",",$page);
$currentlisteners=$numbers[0];
$connected=$numbers[1];

if($connected==1)
$wordconnected="yes";
else
$wordconnected="no";
$peaklisteners=$numbers[2];
$maxlisteners=$numbers[30];
$reportedlisteners=$numbers[4];
}
$im = ImageCreate(200,60);

$background_color = ImageColorAllocate($im,255,255,255);

$text_color1 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0,0,0);
$text_color2 = ImageColorAllocate($im,119,43,26);

if($success!=2 && $connected==1){

$song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]);

$string1= "Now playing on RadioFuckers";
$string2= $song[0];

Yes, I know that it is "showing" to be online, because I edited this part of the script:
}
else {
$string1= "RadioFuckers is currently";
$string2= "ONLINE";
$string3= "www.radiofuckers.com";
$string4= ":::";
It should be this:
}
else {
$string1= "RadioFuckers is currently";
$string2= "OFFLINE";
$string3= "Check Back Later";
$string4= ":::";

The reason I edited it, is because that is all that I was getting, and I felt that people seeing that we were "offline" would turn them away. I should be getting a "status relay" kinda thing. Showing the current song playing, listeners ect...

I hope this helps clear it up a bit, I hope that somebody can help me with this issue, I am stumped.

I'm not a PHP expert, so I'm wondering how I could add a dash between the artist and song. The station I'm using this for doesn't play "songs", it plays mix sets so it wouldn't make much sense to have "Artist:" and "Song:". Here is an example of what it looks like now, just need to add a dash in between the artist and 'song name'. Thanks -Mark EDIT: Or even better to have it just take whatever the SHOUTcast server is outputting as the title, because some of our broadcasts don't have a dash in them, some of them just say "DJ Mark Live" and that's it. EDIT2: Look at the title now. It's supposed to say "(Live!) DJ Entertijn - Hardstyle Mix" but it's overlapping wierd. If I can get it to just output whatever the shoutcast server is sending on one line that would be great.

That black border around it was all the way around it before, but now you can see it's not at the bottom. I haven't changed anything since then.

Vchat20 Major Dude Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 1,273	sorry for bringing up a "supposed to be" dead topic, but im having some slight issues with your code Ruffdawg. but before i forget: GIjoe, check a few pages back. ruffdawg posted the working code in response to someone else posting their code which was "messed up". now, heres the trouble: my site runs phpnuke. ive been trying to put some kind of now playing message in the header, but for some stupid reason, it wont allow any php code. it somehow omits all the php code put up there. so my last resort has been to use this sig code, but modified somewhat. ive managed to reduce it to a single line, and ive changed the background image to a gif so i can use transparencies (all that shows on the site is the now playing words, nothing else). in addition, instead of having the "Now Playing:" part of the bg image, i want it outputted as part of the actual song title. ive managed to do this. but when the station is running, it says "Now Playing: Array" instead of "Now Playing: Artist - Title". any ideas? heres the link to the image: http://www.pokeradio.com/images/np.php (may be hard to see on a white background. aamof, it IS hard to see on white. lol). and here is my code: PHP Code: <?php // This Script was created by Ruff Dawg, in conjunction, and many thanks to, // DJ Rampage's script. Your Welcome in advance // This image you can call immediately from an html file in the image tag // (i.e. <image src="black.php"> ) easy huh?

101 Major Dude Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Argentina Posts: 828	PHP Code: `$string1= "Now Playing: " . $song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]);` You're getting the type of $song [Array] instead of one of its values, that's because you're concatenating an array [explode() returns an array] but you don't specify an index. Besides, if you want the string in one line, you don't need explode() anyway. Modify that part with this: PHP Code: // song information is splitted in artist - title: // This requires consistent artist & title format (no ' - ' in title/artist) // else you can use $numbers[6] as current song info below //$song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]); $song = $numbers[6]; // strings can of course be replaced with your own idea's //$string1= "Now Playing: " . $song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]); $string1= "Now Playing: " . $song; } else { $string1= "PokeRadio is Temporarily Offline"; } To center the text, add something like: PHP Code: `// positioning below //(image,font (from 1 to 5),starting x position, y position,line of text,color) $px = (imagesx($im)-5strlen($string1))/2; $font = 3; $centerx = imagesx($im)/2-(imagefontwidth($font)strlen($string1))/2; $centery = imagesy($im)/2-imagefontheight($font)/2; ImageString($im,$font,$centerx,$centery,$string1,$text_color1); Imagegif($im);` Hope it helps.

I thought before when I tried this that you had two scripts and one generated an image and the other one didn't... I just see script when I go to the place where I have the script and yes the server can run .php scripts! So Where or what the hell do I do now to get this thing to work!!

ruffdawg Major Dude Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (Sauga Represent!) Posts: 565	Okay I just wanna quickly point something out. The script that Vchat20 has been edited so you can use the .gif file in conjunction with the script. The one I offer on my site if for .png extentions. Both extententions offer transparency. Josh2004, its not 2 scripts, its one script, and a picture file in the same folder. The script calls the picture file. sigpic.png is the default. Would anyone find it easier if i zipped the script and a default background file? doing so, i'll clean up/add to the code and re-releasing the script.

My problem with the script is that many of my shows have comma's, dollar signs, pound signs, etc. in either the author or title fields; so they don't display correctly. For instance I just played: Tarzan, Lord Of The Jungle - 511108 (44) Adventure On The Road To Timbuktu and the sig script only displayed "Tarzan". I'm already using this to get past any dashes: $song=$numbers[6]; Any help for a non-php guy!???? Thanks!!! Bob here's a link to my sig... http://www.bobmerritt.com/OTR/bobsig.php
