Different images for different skins

OK this tutorial is meant for people who have fully skinned their site by following my tutorial.  When you go through my site you will see that when you change to a different skin alot of my images, for example my link me button and my bullets change to fit in with the theme.  This is very simple to do:   Basically when a person chooses a skin, their skin number is stored in a cookie file, you can bring up the skin number a person is using by using the php variable $skin for example <?php echo "you are using skin number $skin";?> looks like   you are using skin number 8 Soo you should now be thinking I know how to do this now! don't worry if you haven't quite yet realised how to do it, I will show you.  For my bullets I use the code <?php echo "<img src=bullet$skin.gif>";?> When someone enters the page using skin 1 this means that an image appears called bullet1.gif, simple huh? You could also make separate folders called 1, 2, 3, etc depending on how many skins you have and then call the images the same in each folder and put something along the lines of <?php echo "<img src=image/$skin/bullet.gif>";?> Experiment :P !
