In the void, no one can hear you scream :-)

Tom Chiverton, well, space didn't fit as well.
Good point Tom, though I guess screaming it into the void where nobody
WAS listening has the same result as the altogether more correct,
screaming it into the void where nobody COULD listen. The point being
that my screaming seemed to be wasted energy in that my message didn't

A lot of people were wearing the WWBD t-shirt at the CFUnited conference 3
weeks ago. It looked good.

Hmm,
I would have thought
img src=loadimage.cfm and use cfcontent from there would be the
answer:-) Or am I missing what your really looking for?

I need to hide the actual path to an image so the users cant see what folder
the images are in. I was talking with Jared about it and he suggested to use
cfcontent but when I do that the only thing that shows up is the image and not
the rest of the page. Btw~ it won't just be for 1 image it
CFCONTENT will do the job. You need to use an image-server page to do
this; you then use the imageserver as the src attribute in your other
pages. You can store filepaths in a DB and send the ID of the image to
the imageserver page to obscure the true path.

I'll give that a go, i thought about it before but was a lil worried about
performance doing that. thanks

Thats not a real possibility because those same images will be constantly
viewed by hundreds of continuous users 24x7 (hopefully), so I can't be moving

why not call your images with the src=image.cfm?imgID=47 and then
choose which image to get from which directory in image.cfm when you
serve it up.

Depends.
You can write a trivial rewrite rule so they can be, for instance.

Dave,
What if you were to encrypt the path with ColdFusion, and then stuff the
encrypted string into a JavaScript variable like so:
var daPath =
'cfoutput#Encrypt('/clients/images',myKey,DESEDE)#'/cfoutput;
Then whenever you need to display an image, use JS to decrypt the
variable (a view source

Charlie, from my own experience of storing images as binaries on a mySQL db,
it bumps up the size of the stored file by upto 50%. Meaning, a 100k image
may take upto 150k

understood. but what with disk space being relatively inexpensive
nowadays...if his need to hide the image paths outweighs the issue of
disk space, it might be a worthwhile option.

From Dave's original requirement, he's talking about a loop of a hundred or

For real, img src=image.cfm?imgid=47 is the best way to go. You can
then store your images wherever you want and nobody can find them...
It's incredibly easy...
