everytime i use my current avatar on a forum, i get tons of pms "how do you do that" etc. etc..

so im going to beat the punch this time becuase its hella annoying..

For those of you who would like to do the same with some different images heres how...

first create a .htaccess file
insert this..

AddType application/x-httpd-php .jpg

then open wordpad or notepad

paste this in

<?php
$dh = opendir(".");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh)))
{
if (preg_match('/.jpg$/i', $file) and $file != "avatar.jpg") // sanning for .jpg files only and stopping avatar.jpg being loaded (you will run into errors if this isnt here)
{
$filelist[] = $file;
}
}

srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$picnum = rand(0, sizeof($filelist) - 1);

header("Location: " . $filelist[$picnum]);

closedir($dh);
?>

save that as avatar.jpg

then put both those in the same directory as all the images you want, upload them to your website and link your avatar to

www.yoursite.com/avatar/avatar.jpg

just an example you might make the directory whatever but basically link back to avatar.jpg when its on the web..
make the the .htaccess file has no exstensions (.txt, .rtf, etc. etc.)

[bobme]

very good post, prb one of your best ones yet. Hehe

 

[Ms_Nattereri]

Truely way too confusing for me to even want to have my avatar like that.

 

[Sir Nathan XXI]

or make a gif animation like I did

 

[ProdigalMarine]

...or you can be an ordinary person and have regular avatars

 

[Xenon]

Dude your avatar f'n rules!

...or you can be an ordinary person and have regular avatars

 

[DrewBoOty]

the only problem with gif's is that if you want to add something or remove, you cant... but this isnt a surefire way to get it to go in sequence. (working on it..)

 

[ProdigalMarine]

...drewbooty, you have an original avatar...you should keep your secret and keep everyone guessing

...drewbooty, you have an original avatar...you should keep your secret and keep everyone guessing

[Ms_Nattereri]

I suggest you PM Drew and maybe he can help you. However, I dont think he comes here often so you might want to go to his site which is called the HerpForum. Just a suggestion...

 

[GARGOYLE]

damn innes now your reach back a few pages I guess when a whore needs it, she needs it.

 

[Innes]

huh?

I want a new avatar with multipul images, I also remember this post and so thought I would ask for it to be explained since I tried and got stuck "first create a .htaccess file" here as I have no idea what this type of file is, or how to get one.
