Hey, so I am trying to get the php script that MattRogowski posted in another thread, and I am running into some issues.

I have tryed alot of diffrent paths for

$folder = '';

But I don't think this is the problem. When I have any path set (correctly mind you) and I right click on the broken image that appears, I get a link to the php file. I think this is what is wrong (obviously) and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks, Tierney

Forgot to reply to your PM, if you can send me your FTP details I'll try and see what might be breaking.

No, linking to the php file is correct. If you go to your php file in your browser it should show you a random image every time. So this is either a permissions issue with your files, OR the permissions issue described in the file's leading comments where some systems break this script if there is a higher folder with bad permissions.

Auctualy, I just kinda did it myself. Very, very easily. I just searched "PHP random image script" on google, and found this one. I just uploaded it to my file with a . as the file path and presto, it works!

When I try linking my php script to my Avatar, I get the folowing message:

Please correct the following errors before continuing:
The URL you entered for your avatar does not appear to be valid. Please ensure you enter a valid URL.

Shouldn't it accpct the PHP file?

If you want to use relative paths with this script (the one Matt uploaded) you need to add the trailing slash is all.
$folder = './';
Works just fine for me, and I renamed it to index.php so no one can actually get the directory listing (and I don't have to .htaccess to stop it)

Some forum softwares wont, but MyBB does...

http://yoururl.com/avatars/index.php

If you named it index.php of course

So how does matt post it with his script?

???
Exactly like I said in the last part of my previous post...

And out of curiosity how many avatars do you guys have? I'm currently at 45 for my random avatar script

I have like 8, but I don't understand. I put

http://ohsf.comze.com/images/TierneyRandom/Randomimage.php

and it doesn't work?

It works

Testing it with img tags


However, the one Matt uploaded is a much better script. Try putting the attached file into your folder.

That will make the img link below work

Yay! it worked! Thanks so much!
