Movie Images

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:
