PHP function for getting Favatars [via]

Looks a lot better than my own hacked together code.

...but I'll stick with it anyway since I can't get this one to work for some reason.

Hehe, funny. I made my own version last friday and just put it up on my site, and now he posts his code and i can't get it to work!

One difference: I'm using http://php.net/fsockopen instead of fopen. Also, I don't do a second request to see if the favicon url returns a valid response.

Made a quick 'n' dirty testing page with this code, and it seems to work:

The problem is it seems to randomly work/not work on each refresh... I noticed the same thing when I tested the function locally.

Yep... weird. Unfortunately, my knowledge of PHP is just beginning, so I don't expect to solve this soon...

hmm, I tried it again and now it works. Woohoo, I'm hip!
