Is there a PHP script out there that can create Mac and PC icon files? I was just thinking it would be cool to use my new painting script to pass info to a PHP script that could gen an icon file for a user. I've been looking around with no luck. I've never really looked into server-side image creation yet.

Bugs: Its an interesting question but I suspect not. It is an odd file format. I'll have a nose around and see what I can dig up

[edit:

<whisper>Saying something might not be possible seems a guaranteed way to get people coming out of the woodwork to poin out ways of doing it </whisper> ]

Not wishing to spoil anyone elses fun but you can use netpbm (what disappoints me is that I'd already visited the first link):

http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/ppmtowinicon.html

I know TP and Butcher can give you some advice on this (amongst many others I'm sure).

That would be a nice tool for the GurusNetwork...

Pugzly: It shouldn't be too much hassle getting netpbm installed (TP is using it in PSPong at the moment) - it does raise some interesting possibilities. I've had a good look at a lot of icon creators and most don't allow you to create icons containing bitmaps of different resolutions (which strikes me as poiling the whole point) so its possible you could have a way to upload a number of different graphics which could be dropped into one icon. But that is all back of the nevelope stuff and I have no idea how much extra work it would be in practice.

If I can get this working, I really want to have it on GN. I haven't contributed anything for such a long time
