PHP script for a real time clock

!!!! IF YOU USE THIS CLOCK FROM MY SERVER, DO NOT SET REFRESH LOWER THAN 300 !!!!

PHP script for a real time clock for picture objects in ActiveWorlds

Usage description :

====== On your server ======

Copy this PHP script to any folder on your server, I use "oct31.org/clock/clock.php" here ( View

View)

You probably have to modify the texture path in line 8 of the script before you upload it!

Some PHP installations (XITAMI?) seem to issue warnings about missing variables if the command line argument isn't present, in this case add the following line to your script, somewhere near the header() function :
error_reporting (21);

====== In AW ======

Create a zpict2.rwx (2 examples) :

 create picture oct31.org/clock/clock.php?typ=4&cc=FFFFFF&hc=0000ff update=600

 create picture oct31.org/clock/clock.php?img=avface2bl&hs=5 update=600

This is the LAST warning !!!
DO NOT USE AN UPDATE DELAY LOWER THAN 300.
I will consider shorter update intervals as bandwidth theft
and remove the script from here forever !!!

The script has several arguments, all are optional :

Description	Example	Default	Comment
Time difference to VRT	`vr=-3`	`vr=0`	-
Flag for roman numbers	`typ=1`	`typ=0`	add 1 to typ
Flag for no numbers	`typ=2`	`typ=0`	-
Flag for a 24 hours face	`typ=4`	`typ=0`	-
Hand width modifier	`hs=15`	`hs=0`	This value adds to the default width
Frame color (hex)	`fc=d06060`	`fc=000000`	not used when img= is specified
Face color (hex)	`cc=aaaa00`	`cc=ffffe0`	not used when img= is specified
Hour hand color (hex)	`hc=123456`	`hc=d01010`	see img=
Minute hand color (hex)	`mc=123456`	`mc=f03030`	see img=
Text color (hex)	`nc=000000`	`nc=800000`	see img=
Texture from ObjectPath (best 256x256)	`img=avface2bl`	no texture	Depending on the version of the installed GD library on your server, the script cannot allocate colors when the image is created from a JPG file with too many colors, so all color options might only paint in the nearest color if img= is used.

Here is a list of textures that I uploaded so you can experiment a little.

If you prefer to have a digital clock, it's here, basically it supports all options of the analog one (except for "typ") plus a fnt parameter for TTF fonts.
