[PHP GD] make your own dynamic Avatar =D

[Thor Erik]

this is the actual "image"

<?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):

*-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
