e2 image loader

e2imageloader

This is an E2 that, with some help from the php script, can load any jpg, png or gif (non animated gif only) from anywhere on the internet, and then display it on a digital screen.

To use it, simply

• place the php script on any server you have. Alternatively use something like xampp to host a server on your own computer.
• Next, change the url near the top of the E2 to point to the php script on your server.
• Read the E2's comments for more information about the other options.
• Then, spawn the E2 on a digital screen (or near it and wire it up manually) and your selected image will load. Alternatively use the chat command (default ">") to load an image (aim at the digital screen or the E2 to choose which screen to load it at).

If you would like to load the image faster, you can also spawn any amount of "loadshare" E2s. These will automatically connect to the main E2 and be used to make the image load faster.

I have problem ( Error ) =(

Hello! I hope that you will answer me, would be grateful (time has passed a lot already = D). I really want to use this magic code, but I ran into a problem that I cannot solve for a week = (
It lies in the lack of image loading, he only writes to me (" Found 0 loadsharing E2s! Loading image 'http://i.imgur.com/xn4cYl4.png' ")
I uploaded the PHP code to Xampp, sort of set it up, but it didn't work = (

Error when loading

I did all the steps, have the php file running through xampp but when I spawn the E2 it prints out this error to chat:

entities/gmod_wire_expression2/core/string.lua:356: Regex is too complex! 3 ext search length too long

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
