I've been experimenting a little with the image functions of PHP for some time, but this would be the first time I write a working script that does something too! It takes an image (PNG only at the moment but it's only a matter of changing one line in the script to adjust this.

The method I used was - very inefficient - simple, take some image, read it pixel by pixel, read the RGB code of each pixel, convert it to HEX code and output in html, with some CSS tricks to keep the size. Another (bandwith) trick I used is checking if the previous pixel had the same HEX colour code as the previous one, so instead of creating a new <div>, just add a pixel to the previous one.

I have currently no plans of distributing the source code, it's pathetic and needs cleaning, but if you're interested drop me an e-mail, as long as you don't whine about the overload of crap there is in the code.

And here is an example: the PerlForums logo in ASCII Art!
