Rotating Avatar

[NightStalker]

avatar.gif


<?php
$dh = opendir(".");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh)))
{
if (preg_match('/\.gif$/i', $file) and $file != "avatar.gif")
{
  $filelist[] = $file;
}
}

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

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

closedir($dh);
?>

.htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php .gif

Now you will need to upload .gif images to the selected directory that you have placed both avatar.gif and .htaccess, once you have done so, you can link to "avatar.gif" and your avatar will refresh whenever someone refreshes their browser.

Example:

http://kdp.57host.biz/night/builds/rotate/avatar.gif

:rolleyes:

You'll also need the following headers:
$fn='http://www.yoururl.com/avatar.php'; // where your avatar is located
header('Cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, no-store');
header('Content-disposition: filename='.$fn);
header('Pragma: no-store');

[h1]

And if you don't want to or can't use .htaccess, do this:
header('Content-type: image/gif'); // or image/jpeg or image/png or whatever

It works with or without that.

Goood. Just one little niggle. I DON&#39;T HAVE PHP&#33;&#33; :P

[StealthAssassin]

ive been trying to do this for a while now and cant find a free host that has .htaccess support, so can you right exactly what i would need to do if i didnt want to use .htaccess but still have the php file "avatar.jpg"?

i have something similar to this with which im playing, but id like for the image to be refreshed every 10 seconds: either updating the pic, or even the page would be fine, but it must be done through the gif file which calls the images.

heres the code which im using (successfully)
avatar.gif:
&#60;?php
&#036;dh = opendir&#40;&#34;.&#34;&#41;;
while &#40;false &#33;== &#40;&#036;file = readdir&#40;&#036;dh&#41;&#41;&#41;
{
if &#40;preg_match&#40;&#39;/.&#40;jpg|gif|png&#41;&#036;/i&#39;, &#036;file&#41; and &#036;file &#33;= &#34;avatar.gif&#34;&#41;
{
&nbsp;&#036;filelist&#91;&#93; = &#036;file;
}
}

srand&#40;&#40;double&#41;microtime&#40;&#41;*1000000&#41;;
&#036;picnum = rand&#40;0, sizeof&#40;&#036;filelist&#41; - 1&#41;;
&#036;pictype = substr&#40;&#036;filelist&#91;&#036;picnum&#93;, -3&#41;;

&#036;fn=&#39;http&#58;//www.ianrhodgson.co.uk/images/avatar/avatar.php&#39;;

header&#40;&#39;Content-disposition&#58; filename=&#39;.&#036;fn&#41;;
header&#40;&#39;Pragma&#58; no-store&#39;&#41;;

header&#40;&#34;Last-Modified&#58; &#34; . gmdate&#40;&#34;D, d M Y H&#58;i&#58;s&#34;&#41; . &#34; GMT&#34;&#41;;

closedir&#40;&#036;dh&#41;;

&#60;FilesMatch avatar.gif&#62;

:lol: Too bad that&#39;s not a valid header. ;)

[vivitron 15]

yeah, i know - just started playing with this, and was just trying the obvious first

didnt wanna spend hours trying to get it to work if it was that easy...clearly it isn&#39;t, and that wasnt supposed to be in the posted code :unsure:

anyhow, ignoring that line (gonna edit now ;)) - is there a way i can get it to do the refresh thing?

[h1]

Dunno, if all else fails, try Google. :P

[vivitron 15]

thanks for the tip - not sure about this goggle though - whats that??









:P i did, but couldnt find it - thought youd be the best source, being the man with this shit

Nah. The script is called when the page is loaded, outputs an image, and that&#39;s it; it&#39;s done running. If you wanted it to refresh, you&#39;d have to call the script again, which isn&#39;t possible in the context of this page, unless you force the entire page to refresh.

The output of that script is an image, which is static and literally can&#39;t do anything itself except sit there and look pretty. Having the image refresh itself is impossible. ;)

OMG it shows something different on every page :P

[h1]

If I didn&#39;t play with your cache, you&#39;d get the same image over and over. ;)
