If you dont mine having the image reload when you refresh the page, then you can just make a center block like this:

Code:




<?php





if (eregi("block-Webcam.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}





$content .= "<center><img src=\"http://readthehook.com/webshotbig.jpg\" WIDTH=512 HEIGHT=384 BORDER=0 ALIGN=bottom name=campicture reload=30></center>";





?>

If you want the java to refresh it, you can add it in my_header.php

so, I just paste that into my_header.php and do that block and that's it?

Check the source code for the page, you will see the java that refreshes that image in the <head> of the page.

I don't follow you since I'm new to this. Here is the code in the my_header.php file:
