create an image file

This script grabs an unadopted pixel randomly from the DB, creates an image file on the fly and gives it to the user. It also creates a hash for that file to ensure that users can't tamper with it.

input form for user to give url

HTML form to recieve image URL
Linked from above script - 'upload your img, then give the url /here/'

extract image file from url submitted

use urlLib to read the page
Get the image file, check its hash against the db
if correct, put url into db for that pixel

create html doc with embedded images

embeds images as per database urls
how to load quickly, not having to go thru db on each load?
