This is referring to the method of using a database or non-web
directory to hold the actual data to be displayed (in this case html
links to photos) . The database method inserts the URL at page
creation time, as opposed to it sitting there in static html on a
page. Most of the commercial web runs this way, using something
like PHP and some kind of database on the server side, and java
whatever on browser side.
user localhost (running your script) should be able to read from a
directory at least one above the web directory.
The database doesn't have to be SQL, it could be text files in a
folder that isn't web - accessible. For that matter, the graphics
could be in a server directory above the html web site one, and would
not be publicly accessible, only by your password protected FTP
account.
"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."
