Where are these footers coming from ?

Hi,

They're appearing everywehre, these footers with that sign that tells you your IP, Browser and ISP. Where are they coming from?!?!

They annoying me now....

Ah yes, i would also like to know this. They are quite creepy, although they are very wrong if you are behind a proxy.

I even use this "technology" as a fundament for a website design: http://www.rogotworld.com/main.php (The IP on the top part)

Only thing you have to do different for a footer is to tell php to php .txt files so you can use it on forums as a footer.

Cool,

No one knows yet though, they must be getting out from somewhere ?

That's how I did it:

<?php

    $text = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $chars = strlen($text);
    $fontsize = 50;
    $fontfile = "/home/rogotwld/public_html/redesign_pics/ArialHB.ttf";
    
    $im = imagecreatefromjpeg ('/home/rogotwld/public_html/redesign_pics/m3_template.jpg');
    imagealphablending ($im, true);
    
    $c_outline = imagecolorresolvealpha ($im, 188, 188, 188, 99);
    $c_text = imagecolorresolvealpha ($im, 237, 237, 237, 0);
    
    if ($chars == 14){     
        $startx = 120;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 15){     
        $startx = 102;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 13){     
        $startx = 135;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 12){     
        $startx = 157;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 11){     
        $startx = 179;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 10){     
        $startx = 202;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 9){     
        $startx = 225;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 8){     
        $startx = 248;
        $starty = 40;
    } else if ($chars == 7){     
        $startx = 271;
        $starty = 40;            
    } else if ($chars == 16){     
        $startx = 80;
        $starty = 40;
    } else{     
        $startx = 60;
        $starty = 40;
    }
    
    for ($ox = -1; $ox <= 1; $ox++) {
        for ($oy = -1; $oy <= 1; $oy++) {
            imagefttext ($im, $fontsize, 0, $startx+$ox, $starty+$oy, $c_outline, $fontfile, $text, array());
        }
    }
    
    imagefttext ($im, $fontsize, 0, $startx, $starty, $c_text, $fontfile, $text, array());
    
    header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
    imagejpeg($im, NULL, 75);
    
?>

All those if else for the positioning could be done easyer, but I was to lazy to make perfect code. (And for whatever reson, the function to calculate the width was not working)

From the site I've posted above.

The dynamic jpeg: http://www.rogotworld.com/redesign_p...dynamic_ip.php

The template jpeg: http://www.rogotworld.com/redesign_pics/m3_template.jpg

Very unique... did you do that out of interest or take insparation from another site etc?

[Subway]

It was just popping into my mind, like thousands of other things each day. (Most of them are just a waste of time, but that's how I work)
