Re: [PHP] How to adress pictures stored outside of the http serverroot?

2002-03-21 Thread Rasmus Lerdorf 

Think about what you are doing a bit here.  You want to store the pictures
outside of your document_root, yet you want to reference them directly
from a web page.  That makes absolutely no sense.  By definition,
something that can be accessed directly through your web server must be
accessible from your document_root.

The way to do this is to write a little PHP wrapper script that you stick
in your document_root that does a readfile() on the file stored outside of
the document_root.

 Hi there,

 I am trying to put my images outside the http server root. Anywhere else on
 my system to make it inpossible to steal those files and images with wget.

 My problem is how to access the files myself :-) I tryed img
 src=/home/user/test/images/22.jpg But the server understands :
 server.com/home/user/test/images/22.jpg

 So how could I do this? I guess this is possible, isn't it?

 Thanx for any help,

 Andy

 What would you suggest to prevent people from downloading all the  image
 files?

Here's one idea: write a little PHP wrapper script that you stick in your
document_root that does a readfile() on the file stored outside of the
document_root.
