it's fucking simple shit. obviously it's reading a source from somewhere (eg. be that cookies, a list, whatever) then for each item, generating an image off of it, either mapped to a keyword or generated based off it. then you stitch it together. only a retard wouldn't understand that. you're not an amateur at php, you're an amateur at using your brain

Actually, I believe there are APIs available for this kind of thing, but it's also possibly by reading webpages, usually it's not done by cookies, because usually the only thing they store are PHP session IDs or useless information such as last login date or viewed items.

I was saying conceptually how it is done. At the API level it does this. The data source is not quite relevant. For that particular usecase, what you describe may be applicable though. Again, Cryoma is just an amateur at using his brain. A concept as simple as this needing explaining is just laughable

Last I heard, image processing wasn't a laughing matter.

If you mean stitching using a bitmap and its matrix representation, thats not hard. But pixel processing, and morphing images, that does seem more complicated. If you write an example, don't cheat by using an API or prepackaged function.
