I'd like to know what would be the best way to proceed to have a randomly displayed image in my sig?

I thought about php but it seems that php is not allowed on the page ( did a search on the forum and found one thread where Swamper mentionned that php was not authorized )

the reason why I want to do this is cause I would like to have different sigs and if they could be randomly displayed that would be way way cool

anyone serious suggestions?

I dunno if (1) would work but (2) definately would

1) Point it to a php file that is set up with a 302 redirect to a random image in the header

2) Get hosting somewhere on a linux box and set up a crontab to change your sig every minute by copying say sig1.jpg to sig.jpg and then sig2.jpg to sig.jpg and then u just link to sig.jpg

I didn't say anything about having php in the signature code, what I meant was having an IMG tag pointing to a php file somewhere and within that file you have 302 redirects to various JPGs and you use whatever method you want (random, time based) to determine what JPG is returned so it'll display in your sig

I just tested that way and it works
