I got the index.php to work. But I’m the only one that sees the images. What do I change or add to the code to let others see the images, but not save them.

Thanks!

I’ve never posted a link to an image with a .php extension on my MySpace and didn’t know they were blocking the .php extension. What I do is name each php file “index.php” and place it in it’s own folder. That way, my image src looks something like http://www.domain.com/folder/ and the server will automatically pull the index.php file.
Hope that helps!

PLEASE HELP ME! I’ve been using PHP for most of the content of my myspace profile, and I use it for almost every image to make sure everything is dymanic. I use PHP to display my recent blogs and my top friends in a way I haven’t seen done by anybody else before. I’d explain to you just exactly what everything does but I’d like to get to the point.

Myspace apparently doesn’t like image references with the PHP file extension, so if it sees them it starts filtering them out, replacing the IMG tag with “..”

For a long time I’ve been able to “fool” the filter into thinking it was a ‘valid image source’ but while making some updates to the profile tonight I noticed that each time i clicked “Save All Changes” on my profile edit page, it started to filter out the PHP images again, one by one (not all at once).

I’ve currently had to disable my recent blog listing because it’s deteriorating, as well as my default profile image. It won’t be long before everything is eaten up by this darn filter! I’ve worked much too hard for everything to go away like this! Please if you know any secrets for getting the PHP image references to stay put, I would be so very grateful! Contact me via email or through myspace, and please do so ASAP… I don’t know what to do! I’m afraid that all of my hard work will go down the drain…

I didn't try this out, but perhaps a script like this would work:
"Cut and Paste Random Content Script"

i was wondering, as you had much help listed here, if you knew anything about rotators that might help me. im wanting to do a rotating “special friend” with a link to their profile and an “add to friends” link. im starting to understand the whole image rotation principle now- but how do you make a random image and links set to appear? is this do-able or should i quit now before im eyeball deep in redundancy? my profile is http://www.myspace.com/pit_slaves and the area i want to have the rotating friend info in is the “artist friend” div. i want a new friend to load into each one of the two slots everytime someone loads the page. (there are only 18 total people so far in rotation) keep in mind i have the constraint of having to place the script inside the div info for that particular div box to retain the alignment of the other divs (i think). any ideas?

I had the same problem.

I just try to make the images more personal rather than generic.
