Hi

I have been directed to this thread by Steve, and have tried downloading the PHP-GD banner script fromTNETweather.com but when I click on the ZIP or PDF it comes up with an AVG8 page...

Can I get this from anywhere else??

Also I might need a little bit of help, well a little might be an understatment as I am a complete newbie with PHP.

Regards

Dave

That sounds a bit odd.
Confirm you are using a single click on the bit that says "Zip" http://www.tnetweather.com/cumulus.php for the banner section ?

Its not your AVG anti virus software kicking in and preventing you from downloading it ?

Hi Paul

I am deffinatly only single clicking it, just takes me straight to http://www.avg.com

I even triet "right click" and "save as" and just says save file as AVG and file type is HTML

Looks like a problem with AVG to me. You do use AVG? I think it's trying to scan the zip and something is going wrong. What does that avg.html file actually contain?

Steve

[Jonsey]

Its a computer at work which I am using, but the anti-virus is on the server, we dont use AVG think it smoothwall.

This is the first time I have come across this.

Have added the saved html file in the zip file below.

[steve]

Very odd - it almost looks like you've been hijacked and sent to the AVG site by something.

[Jonsey]

I know its weird, I will have a try at home.

Does it work for any of you??

[Jonsey]

Well I am baffled, I have just managed to download bothe the zip and pdf file.. must of been a work server issue.

Now to try and make some sence of it and make my own..

Dave

[steve]

It's just a case of a bit of configuration near the top of the file, not too hard.

[Jonsey]

Have tried it and all I get is "the image http://www.worsley-weather.co.uk/banner.php" can not be displayed, because it contains errors.

This is how I have set it up, as directed in the pdf file?

Sorted it..

[TNETWeather]

Glad you sorted it out.

I have tested the file and even with AVG it shows no issues.

It looks like you are being redirected. Perhaps by a proxy??
