As some of may have not noticed, I have a random avatar! If you don't believe me, refresh the page a couple times..

anyways, heres what you need:

1) Common Sense
2) A website with PHP support

and heres what you do...

1) Make a new directory called like "avatar"
2) In it, upload a file named "image.php" containing the following code:

Code: [Select]

<?php 
Header&#40;"Cache-Control&#58; no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"&#41;; 
Header&#40;"Expires&#58; Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08&#58;52&#58;00 GMT"&#41;; 
Header&#40;"Pragma&#58; no-cache"&#41;; 
Header&#40;"Content-Type&#58; image/gif"&#41;; 
srand&#40;&#40;double&#41;microtime&#40;&#41;*1000000&#41;; 

$i = 0; 
$dir = opendir&#40;"./"&#41;; 
while&#40;&#40;$im = readdir&#40;$dir&#41;&#41;&#41; &#123; 
    if&#40;$im != ".." && $im != "." && $im != "image.php"&#41;&#123; 
       $image[$i&#93; = $im; 
       $i++; 
    &#125; 
&#125;  
closedir&#40;$dir&#41;; 

$len = count&#40;$image&#41;-1; 
$n = rand&#40;0,$len&#41;; 

if&#40;!readfile&#40;"./".$image[$n&#93;&#41;&#41;&#123; 
   readfile&#40;"./error.gif"&#41;; 
&#125; 

?>

3) Upload your images, make sure they are named in the sence like, 1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif, 4.gif, etc... (the script will pick up how many images there are)

4) Since phpbb will check the file extension link to your avatar as such:
 http://www.yoursite.com/avatar/image.php/sig.gif

  *** If you want to use jpegs, change "Header("Content-Type: image/gif"); " to "Header("Content-Type: image/jpeg"); " and that should do the trick..
