Movie Images
Monday, April 09, 2007

I've recently been working on churning out some dynamically generated PHP images using my personal movies database. This of course has been completed in-between watching Zach Johnson win the Masters (I had my fingers crossed for Justin Rose right up until hole 17) and Manchester United losing to Portsmouth on Saturday. In fact, the majority of time over this Easter period has been spent watching sports - cricket world cup, golf and football - still more to come with Champions League matches tomorrow - what fun! My work can once again be fuelled by chocolate as I have ceremoniously ended lent after having successfully given up chocolate, croissants, pasties, crisps and those tasty iced buns.

Anyway - back to the case in point; the generated images have three modes: a) Show the details for a given IMDB number b) Show details for the top item in a keyword search c) Show my most recently rated film. Upon generation these files get cached, the cache updates once a week for film details and one a day for the rated film. So, here are some fun fun dynamic images:
