Woah. This creates high-quality ASCII images. I\'m worried if it will use too much bandwidth or not.

I keep getting a parse error for line 53. Is there a ; missing somewhere?

Solved. Needed to give it a php extension of course, not an html

apparently php seems to have problems with the double 'greater than signs' in the lines as: $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;, which makes it think the php code already stops

That would be 'fishhook open'?echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?fishhook closed behind teh url and that is an unknown url

That would be: behind the URl and that is reported as unknown

Interesting, too bad it does not work though: when pressing the 'Create' button. Th epost method calls for which is an unknown url
