using random image with SLIR

[Gerben van Dijk]

Hi there,

First of all, great script, have been using it since Smart Image
Resizer :-).
I have a question: I am generating a random image by php, wich results
in a file like this:

http://cdn.gportdev.nl/img/normal/rotate.php

But if I use SLIR and this script combined, I get the following error:

http://cdn.gportdev.nl/slir/w900/http://cdn.gportdev.nl/img/normal/rotate.php

Is there any way I can make this work?

Regards,

Gerben van Dijk

I think the only way to make that work with SLIR would be to have a script that would make some sort of HTTP request to the first random image script, cache that file somewhere, and then pass that new actual image filename to SLIR.

Thanks for the quick reply. Would that also work if i rewrite the url
of rotate.php to rotate.jpg via .htaccess?

No, the file on the filesystem that SLIR is pointed to needs to be an actual image file.
