Very impressive!
As an idea, how about a scale setting so that the line length can be set
rather than having a 1 pixel to 1 char ratio. Also using <pre> would
save quite a bit on downloading

Thanks Andrew! After I made it I had a Google and found a few others,
nothing new under the sun!

Right now it's one pixel to one <td> cell in a table. Not sure how I
would scale it. At first I did it without a table, just lines of text,
this rendered much quicker, but the results were unpredictable at
different font sizes. The table at least forces a shape on it.
Just messing about. I may look at it some more, we'll see.

Good call.

Very nice, but it doesn't half eat up your data transfer!

He he, I bet it does! It's on my own dedicated server, so for now I can
spare it!
Having said that, I tried it a little while ago, and it was quite slow.
I wonder how many concurrent connections it could take without grinding
to a halt?
The PHP has to go through it a pixel at a time. I was testing on a
fairly small image about 300x200, which is still 60,000 pixels that are
operated on individually.

I have put the text-only version on the same page.
It is much quicker, and thanks to Andrew's reminder about <pre> it renders
beautifully!

What are you using to generate the ASCII art? Have you looked towards
aalib?

Not aware of that one Mr I. Was just messing about, I will check it out.
Thanks for the pointer.

Thank you Miss H!
Provided it's not too big, it'll handle any jpeg you can throw at it! I
might do an option for gif and png too. Was just experimenting.
