Ok you guys know about the php script for displaying a random image with every refresh...but theres another php script that embeds an image within the .php/.php3/.phtml file, that is, you don't have to link to an external site to retrieve the image, or you don't need to upload it anywhere, saving space....well my request is...would anyone be kind enough to make such a script for me? please?

saving space
Not really... if the image data is inside the php file, it's still taking up that space. Actually, it would take even more space, because you must encode the binary data to make it safe for storage in a PHP script. Encoded data is about 33% larger.
The attachment, is a PHP-script, that just randomly selects an image, and views it. I use it too, for my avatar
The script doesn't encode it, into it's own, due to the need of 30% of more space, like WDZ said before
It works with .jpg and it's not been tested with .png or .gif
Enjoy!
[edit]
Maybe your script doesn't work, due to the Lycos banner...
Oh and The PHP-support at Lycos sucks (at least for Lycos Netherlands...)
Maybe you can put the script on some webspace of your provider...

Those sites can help you if you want to create a script on your own...
We are just members on a forum... Not a helpdesk, to do stuff for you...
O and 1 question? Why do you want it? My PHP-script DOESN'T store the image inside the script... And does work HERE too...
You can get my PHP-script in one of my previous posts in this topic
