I have a script that generates a random image:

<body bgcolor="#F5F5F5">
<?php
$range = 7;
$code[1] = "<img src='http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/dantepraiseofwarsig001copy.png'>";
$code[2] = "<img src='http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/ibetyoudieyounggrungesig001copy.png'>";
$code[3] = "<img src='http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/photobucketspoofsig001.png'>";
$code[4] = "<img src='http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/samusaransig001copy.png'>";
$code[5] = "<img src='http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/cb520bbe.png'>";
$code[6] = "<img src='http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/samuspixelblursig002.png'>";

$code[8] = "<img src=\'Your Image URL}\'>";
$code[9] = "<img src=\'{Your Image URL}\'>";
$code[10] = "<img src=\'{Your Image URL}\'>";
$number = rand(1,$range);
echo $code[$number];
?>

My major issue is that I want it to display in a forum signature (with an

I think i understand what you're trying to do, not sure if it will work with photobucket hosted images, but give this a try.

$code[1] = "http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/dantepraiseofwarsig001copy.png"; 
$code[2] = "http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/ibetyoudieyounggrungesig001copy.png"; 
$code[3] = "http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/photobucketspoofsig001.png"; 
$code[4] = "http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/samusaransig001copy.png"; 
$code[5] = "http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/cb520bbe.png"; 
$code[6] = "http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/djmashedman/Sigs/samuspixelblursig002.png"; 
$code[7] = "http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/Prima400/CantiNewSlang.jpg"; 
$code[8] = "Your Image URL}"; 
$code[9] = "{Your Image URL}"; 
$code[10] = "{Your Image URL}"; 
$key = array_rand($code,1); // this way is much more error proof

$img = $code[$key];
$img_ext = substr($img,strrpos($img,'.') + 1); // getimagesize() would be better, but this should work
if($img_ext == 'jpg')
{
	$img_ext = 'jpeg'; // for the header
}

header("Content-Type: image/$img_ext");
include($img);

Put that code in a .php file, say image.php, and put the php url inside the bbcode img tag.

[img=http://www.yoursite.com/image.php]

I don't have to use PhotoBucket images.
The problem I encounter is that the IMG tag doesn't accept .php as a valid image format. I've seen other scripted images in signatures (such as that sign with your IP address, etc. on it) and I want to do that.

ok, so call the file with php in it image.png and setup your server to parse that particular file as a php file. If you're on a *nix server you use .htaccess, i don't know the code offhand but a quick search should sort you out.
