Help with ldisplaying avatar in header

creating a new theme and need some help displaying
the anonymous / user avatar in the header of the site.
Not sure how to code it. I have looked at some similar code
within the forums, but it seems to call variables differently.

Can anyone help me get started, pointed in the right direction?
Is this process similar to coding the avatar in Blocks?

Test site / Theme is located @ http://pdx.jenncargile.com

If you look at it, you will notice a pasty green box in the
header, this is where I want the avatar to go.

Side note: How do you like my first theme?
still working on the forum part.

theme looks good -keep in mind users with big avatars could break that header -either hardcode the height/width into the img tag or make that table resizeable Smile

heres a bit of code that'll do the trick

Code:

global $user, $cookie, $prefix;
//get username
cookiedecode($user);
$username = $cookie[1];
if ($username == "") {
$userinfo[user_avatar] = 'blank.gif';
$userinfo[user_avatar_type] = 1;
} else {
$sql = "SELECT user_avatar, user_avatar_type FROM ".$user_prefix."_users WHERE username='$username'";
if( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) ) {
   //query was not successfull - set avatar to blank and report error in a html comment for debug purposes
   $userinfo[user_avatar] = 'blank.gif';
   $userinfo[user_avatar_type] = 1;
   echo "";
}
$num = $db->sql_numrows($result);
$userinfo = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
}
//get avatar path info
$bbsql = "SELECT avatar_path, avatar_gallery_path FROM ".$prefix."_bbconfig";
if( !($bbresult = $db->sql_query($bbsql)) ) {
   //query was not successfull - set paths to default and report error in a html comment for debug purposes
   $board_config[avatar_path] = 'modules/Forums/images/avatars';
   $board_config[avatar_gallery_path] = 'modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery';
   echo "";
}
while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($bbresult) ) {
$board_config[$row['config_name']] = $row['config_value'];
}

switch ($userinfo[user_avatar_type]) {
   case 1:
   $display_avatar = $board_config[avatar_path]."/".$userinfo[user_avatar];
   break;
   case 2:
   $display_avatar = $userinfo[user_avatar];
   break;
   case 3:
   $display_avatar = $board_config[avatar_gallery_path]."/".$userinfo[user_avatar];
   break;
}

echo "<img src='".$display_avatar."' border='0'>;
