PHP gurus, need help (work related)

[Dattebayo]

Okay, I know nothing of PHP, but the webhost isn't being cooperative and i need to solve this issue while the web girl is out of town...

We have a website where an image is replaced every 15 minutes with another image that has the same name as it, stored on an FTP server.
Everyone is having problems with the browser caching an old image (and of course they're too lazy to hit "reload"), and it's not the server or a setting on the browser, it's just a latent problem.

So I found this code:

Code: Select all

<?php
print "<img src='http://www.derp.com/now.jpg?".time()."'>";
?>

...and it works great for keeping caching from happening, but I also need the image re-sized to 800x570, and no code I try to add onto it seems to be able to do it on the fly. (Probably because I have no idea how to work the syntax of all that complicated nonsense...)

Anyway, I'd like to get these guys finished so I can move onto better and more interesting projects. Help if you can!

lol, it's so simple.

Code: Select all

<?php
print "<img width=800 height=570 src='http://www.derp.com/now.jpg?".time()."'>";
?>

It came to me when I was making a sandwich.

I was trying to remember it last night when you posted, but I was way too tired... Glad you figured it out.

It was hoping to get through to you code-heads a lot quicker than I did, for sure. I figured you'd all be high on chocolate covered coffee beans by 2AM...

I read this as "PIIHB gurus, need help (work related)" and came in to offer my professional advice.

I can see that it is not needed.

I'm usually at least in bed by 2AM, I try to be asleep by then though. I can't handle the late hours like I used to, i'd like to be in bed earlier than 1AM but it doesn't usually happen
