I have been trying to find a way to make a custom mini profile background. I have looked everywhere and this code is all I can find. I have absolutely no knowlege of php so please bear with my questions.
I would like to know if any of you can tell me how exactly I am to use this code. Like how it works and what to i need to execute it. This is the only thing I could find that may do what I want. Here is the code:
