PHP Image Generation Tutorial

I know what you're thinking, "What the hell does this have to do with SheezyArt". Well quite simply the scripts i've provided in the file below will allow you (with a php enabled web host) to generate images (particularly in use with www.last.fm last ten played songs) for use in your webcam or even title override.

I'm not going to go into detail here, I already did in the individual script files. Just follow them and it should go fine, if you have problems let me know so it can be fixed if it was a cause from my end.

But simply once you get one of the scripts going and are happy with the image it generates then simply instead of entering the url of an image in your overrides or webcam you insert the url of the script file you've made and submitted to your web host. Quite simple really and the result is quite nice

Both scripts (simple.php and advanced.php) should work off the bat, more so simple.php as i've made sure it fits the template provided by default. This way you could even just change the template image and not care about editing the php file.

If you feel i've left something out of the explaining then let me know, this was kinda rushed.

Requirements:
- PHP Installed on a server/host
- GD Image library also installed (comes with PHP most of the time anyway)
- Some knowledge of PHP is great but i've tried to keep those who don't understand PHP in mind when making these
