Hey all, I have created a jpeg2ascii image converter. It is written in PHP and can be viewed at my site here: http://www.jdneff.com/index.php
That isn't ASCII. That's HTML. ASCII art is a plain text file, without color tags. -- Robert "JD Neff" <ban...@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:6bd...@posting.google.com... > Hey all, > > I have created a jpeg2ascii image converter. > It is written in PHP and can be viewed at my site here: > > http://www.jdneff.com/index.php

It's a neat idea, but I can't actually see what it looks like at the moment as I'm on a black-and-white text terminal. That is why on this group only plain text art is called "ASCII art" and other techniques (HTML, ANSI, extended character sets) are called "text art". Why not provide an alternative output style, which uses different characters instead of colours? I promise I'll try your program properly as soon as I'm on a graphical terminal :) -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
Well, you are correct. It does generate a color HTML file. "Rob Bowmaker" <rob...@dse.gen.nz> wrote in message news:<5OqM9.5160$kq6...@news.xtra.co.nz>... > That isn't ASCII.

There is now a seperate script up and running on my site that generates pure ascii output. It can be seen at: http://www.jdneff.com/ascii2.php

Tried again after the other covertor was put up all went well. Have you ran upon this one ? http://www.mosascii.com/index.shtml lgbeard
