The same technique can be used to create random signatures.

So what is this exactly?Not much of a tutorial, your just downloading something...should post what might be there onto a topic and then upload any special files included.Form all we know there may be viruses in there o_0

If you take PHP classes online the tutorials are presented in the same manner. It's a TXT tutorial and a PHP example to edit and learn how it's done. You can't get a virus from a TXT file and a PHP file. This is a tutorial to create a random avatar, you can have an infinite amount of avatars that are selected at random. The tutorial is in the zipped file.Example of a random avatar:It's the one I'm currently using. Also, I would not post malware here. The reason that I am presenting it as a file is that it's much simpler for a novice to use since it's just a question of editing the premade example. Premade examples make the tutorial to make the example unnecessary, a tutorial posted in a thread to be read would need several steps just to create the example, there's a reason why online PHP classes present premade examples.It's as easy as 5 steps with a premade example:

Step 1You'll need a server with PHP support to host the random avatar. If you don't already have a server handy I recommend Freehostia.com, registration is free and so is the hosting.Step 2Open up the randomavatar.png folder, then use Notepad to open up index.phpStep 3Edit index.php by placing the links where it says REPLACE THIS WITH LINK TO AVATAR, do not use the complete URL to the image and only use everything after HTTP://For example:A regular link to an image is http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c276/r3dzgf/avatars/misc2.gifWhat you need to use is i29.photobucket.com/albums/c276/r3dzgf/avatars/misc2.gifYou can add extra lines(the ones ending with a ,) for more avatars by copying and pasting, into infinity. The last link must end in );Using Notepad, Save As file of any type and name it index.php, replacing the index.php in this tutorial.Step 4Upload the randomavatar.png folder to the serverStep 5Use the link to that folder as the link to your avatar

Posting how the example is created would take several additional steps and a novice might not be able to get it coded properly.
