Hide Image Path Script

ATLien

Ok, I am trying to make a image display script that will display a image on a dynamic page. THe issue I am having is I want to hide the image path so when you right click on the image and view properties, it will give you the page name (images.php?image=one.jpg) instead of the image path (images/one.jpg).

Does anyone know how to do this? An example can be seen on Gmail, they have the same system I want to create on attached images.

define ('MY_IMAGE_PATH', '/secretimageplace/');

echo file_get_contents(MY_IMAGE_PATH . $_GET['image']);
exit;

Just that in a script.

Here I put this together for you:

<?php

// set the your image directory(from document root)
$image_dir  = "./images/";

// make the image name safe
$image_name = stripslashes( $_GET['img'] );

// get all images in the image dir
$images = scandir( $image_dir );

// chop of "." and ".." from the images array
$images = array_slice( $images, 2 );

// if the file doesn't exist die()
if( array_search( $image_name, $images ) === FALSE ) die("<b>Error: </b> Image Not Found!");

// get the contents of the image
$image_contents = file_get_contents( $image_dir . $image_name );

// site mime content-type to whatever the image type is
header("Content-Type: ". mime_content_type( $image_dir . $image_name ) );

// get the image contents
$image_contents = file_get_contents( $image_dir . $image_name );

// display the image
echo $image_contents;

?>

Just save that code into a file. Call it like images.php or something like that.

Then whenever you want to use an image just put:

Remember all of these images MUST be in the image directory you specify.

hope it helps! :p

Hey thanks alot. I really appreciate it. You should package that and put it on hotscripts, it is basic, but is something people would use.
