Are PHP-type sources in image tag allowed in sigs?

[metzli]

I have a very specific question about file types to which I think I may already know the answer: is it OK to have PHP-type source in an image tag (in sigs)? For example,

Code: Select all

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/somefile.php"> 

For anyone who doesn't know, the way this works is the browser accesses the PHP file, which dynamically generates an image, which is then placed on the page. It takes longer to load than most images because the image is created when the page loads. For this reason, I am guessing this would not be cool, and I can probably work around it. I was just wondering if this is acceptable. I want to use this for automatically updated notes about how long I've been SI-free.

Thank you,

can't see why it would be a problem

people who have problems with loading siggy's can change their board theme.

it depends. if they're going to take up huge amounts of bandwidth r load massive images, no. if they're small and well-behaved, no problem
