[PHP GD] make your own dynamic Avatar =D

this is the actual "image"

Code:

---

<?php
// the header saying that it's a php script :)
@header ('application/x-httpd-php');
// Name of your image directory
$mydir = "images";

// Make true random
srand( time() );

// Open image directory and put images in an array
if ($dir = @opendir($mydir)) {
 ? while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
  if ( eregi( '.(jpg&#124;gif)$', $file ) ) { $files[] = $file; }
 ? }
 ? closedir($dir);
}

// Find a random image
$file = $files[rand() % sizeof( $files )];

// Send headers for the random image
if ( eregi( '.jpg$', $file ) ) {
 ? header( "Content-Type: image/jpeg" );
} else {
 ? header( "Content-Type: image/gif" );
}
header( "Content-Length: " . filesize( $mydir."/".$file ) );
readfile( $mydir."/".$file );
?>

---

save this as image.php in a separte folder. (folder tree at the bottom)

Folder tree(names without extentions are folders):

Code:

---

*-root
|
*----avatar
    ? ?|
    ? ?*----image.php (main image file)
    ? ?|
    ? ?*----images (store the images of your choise here (.jpg and .gif)

how to:
to make it work on a forum;
the link must be similar to: http://www.yourdomain.com/avatar/image.php/image.gif (/image.gif to fool the forum, to belive that is a image and not a php script xD)

simple demo:
http://www.thor.p4h.biz/avatar/images.php/image.gif (for a forum)
http://www.thor.p4h.biz/avatar/images.php (dosen't work on a forum, but displayes the image ;))


if you don't manage to make it work, post here ;)

note: the one i use is the same code ;)(some tweaks that makes it more secure)

include
if the file is going to be included into another file do include_once on all includes :p

@ mooki: no idea, never seen it, my current avatar got 22 pics :p

Lol. Nice. Thanks Thor...I gotta try this out one day :D.

Nice script. The only problem is most forums don't let you use dynamic avatar or signatures anymore since people took advantage of that
