Greetings The List, For a while, I've been relying on a rev-cgi script that generates an html table representing a 5x5 picture-bingo card. The rev script embeds the 25 images as urls in the html code. A snippet of the code is below.
However, from a browser people could easily peek at the code and then link to the images on their own webpage via their url. My solution for now is to use an .htaccess file that prohibits such hotlinking. But, obviously, it's still possible to access any one of the images by simply entering its url directly into a browser. Anyway. While looking for a solution, I came upon this interesting comment on a php/apache forum: "A better solution would be to use a server-side scripted approach, where the user sees a single script-generated page, which then includes images by calling them by *filename* on the server, not by URL. These images need not even have a URL, and would be accessible only by the script." When I read the words "server-side script" and "script-generated page", it struck me as very similar to what I'm doing now with rev-as-cgi. But, what I'm stumped at is the "calling them by *filename*" bit. Is it possible to deliver such a thing in html form with a rev-based server-side cgi script? I sure hope so! And, if indeed it is possible, would someone care to write out some suggestions as to how to do it? As always, thank you for your patience, especially if I'm asking for the moon here.
