Avatar/signature that depends on time, or whatever...

No. Not another avatar/signature thread.

All I want to know is wheter is would be possible to create an avatar or signature that changes with the time.
For example: An avatar with a sun on it. And that sun goes lower and lower while the evening arrives. Then, about 10 PM, the moon appears. And the next morning, you can see a glimpse of a sun.
Would that be possible? For example, using a PHP-script?

yeah, but only for your signature. you have to have webhosting that supports PHP and dynamic image creation, though. try starting here. make sure your webhost is fast though, or everyone will get mighty pissed off as dynamic PHP images can take a while to load, and that'll slow the page down.
