Image push using headers?

[degauss]

This seems so complex for just a simple thing...

Right, i'll start out by saying what i'd like to happen.

i want to be able to output an image by using <img src="picview.php">.

Picview.php looks like this...

<?
function blink() {
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$blink=rand(1,5);
return $blink;
}

$data="http://personal.degauss.co.uk/images/blink/[".blink()."].gif";
header("Content-type: image/gif");
echo $data;
?>

I think i have to fopen the image file to turn it into binary data?

If someone can help me out, that'd be great 😉

Whee!

Worked it out 😉

For people who may want to do something similar for anti-leeching purposes, here's the code...

<?
$data=readfile("nameoffile.gif");
header("Content-type: image/gif");
echo $data;
?>

You could wrap around something that checks the http referrer to do a geocities type thing.
