Using PHP file for HTML email signature - possible?

Post by RayProudfoot »

Hi all,

I use Outlook 2010 which allows you to include fancy HTML signatures in outgoing messages. Up to now I've been using the Weather Underground weather stickers but after installing AVG v10 it seems to have broken that feature.

Despite spending a few hours last night trying to figure out how to reinstate the sticker I haven't succeeded so I'm now thinking of using my banner.php file instead. Does anyone know if that's possible and if so how do you do it?

Thanks.
Cheers,
Ray, Cheshire.

I'm using Outlook 2003 (windows 7) and was wondering the same thing. Can I use my banner as part of my signature in my emails?

Thx,

Hi !
for that, i use a small line into my htaccess to create a virtual image from the banner.
My banner is in PHP, and into my .htaccess, i add

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?avatar.png$ /avatar.php [L]
</IfModule>
And i can make my avatar / signature into many forums without problems.
Hope it help !

Thanks Oli,
I am a rank noob so it will be a project for me. I'm sure I'll have more questions after I get my new station (still in the mail) set up and running.

I guess my next question is: What program is used to create the weather banner in the first place?
I have seen many fine types out there.
