PHP problem

[Lex]

Like you know my avatar can change hairecuts by refreshing :P but i found it somewhere on the internet and i want to put it on my own webspace so i'm sure i won't lose it if the site goes down, i downloaded all the pictures :) and wrote a simple php script, it works if i follow the link (http://lexavatar.clawz.com/random_pic.php?avatar.gif) but if i change it to my avatar it shows me a red cross :( .
Can anybody help me?
The original link is http://www.ookonline.com/images/random/ook....php?avatar.gif (http://www.ookonline.com/images/random/ook.php?avatar.gif)

Here is my code:


<?php
$dir_path = "http://lexavatar.clawz.com";
$file_path = "/avatars/";
$ext = ".gif";
$rand = rand(1,64);

print "<img src=".$dir_path.$file_path.$prefix.$rand.$ext .">";

?>

Here is the link to my webspace : http://lexavatar.clawz.com

That does not work on vbulletin, since it fetches and saves the avatar locally, always :(

To do that, you would have to have your script actually return the file, intead of an img tag. It's quite possible, but I've never personally done it. Basically, you want to spit out some headers (that's the hard part - finding all the necessary headers to print), then then open the file and output it.

No that won't work. As I said before, avatars are always stored locally, and because of that are static.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, I totally forgot that part. :P

Anyways, it would still be great for a sig.
