Well, I really don't even know where to start. But what I'm attempting to do is make a script where I can implement avatars into a staff page on my site.

Well I'm using MKportal with a SMF, I'm just creating a Internal Page in the MKP. I'm just getting into PHP so I really don't know any of the coding.The problem is I don't know where to start or what tags I should use to accoplish my task.

[code]
<?


$name = $mkportals->member['name'];

$content="Hi $name,

?>[/code]

This is all I have on the page so far but after the paragraph is where I wanna make the table. I could just do it straight HTML but then the avatars would not change when the user changed them in there profile. So basicly.

well a really simple way of doing this is just adding the URL of the image. then in the page add something like,

$avatarimage = "<img src=".$avatarurl.">";

then set the avaraturl variable to -Avatar- in the database file you are using. im not sure what you are using for a database. (mysql flatfile ect...) but just enter the avatar url the same way you do the name

hope this helps, someonemight want to make sure my code syntax is alright though
