[cpage]

Okay so i'm having a little trouble selecting my next avatar so I would like you to please vote for one of the three

(a)
(b)
(c)

oh and tell me what you guys think of them

[Jimi]

The second one, man!

[Andail]

With those avatars, there is a risk that people will stop looking at what you write

[Jimi]

Why don't you do what Timosity does, and set it so you have a random avatar?

[Rincewind]

I'd say the third one, actually.

The last is the most technically accomplished. You can have those "random" avatars by using PHP. But dont ask me how it works.

[Jimi]

to get the random avatar thing happening, First you need a host that supports PHP

Then you need to make a page that contains this code

Code:

<?
$absolute_path = "avatar";
$dir = opendir($absolute_path);
while($avatar = readdir($dir)) {
if (($avatar != "..") and ($avatar != ".")) {
 $avatars[] = "$avatar";
}
}
$avatars = str_replace(chr(32),"%20",$avatars);
$random = array_rand ($avatars, 1);
$randomAvatarURL=$avatars[$random];
$avatar = fopen("$absolute_path/$randomAvatarURL","r");
while (!feof ($avatar)) {
       print fread($avatar,120);
}
fclose($avatar);
?>




call the file avatar.php or something like that

create a folder on your site "avatar"

Then all you have to do is put the avatars you want into that folder.

also you need to link to the page instead of an image eg.

yoursite.com/avatar.php
instead of
yoursite.com/avatar.gif


Note this line
$avatar = fopen("$absolute_path/$randomAvatarURL","r");

it is automatically changed from just 1 letter rrr to are

It's that text fixeruper thing

*Thats what timosity said*
