Masking and fetching images on the fly

[yonghe]

I've got a client who has a need to do the following:

Visitor request image from url: http://www.example.com/example.jpg

Site owner wants to parse "example.jpg", call another url with parsed jpg: (http://www.alternatesite.com/example.jpg) and display results - NOT REDIRECTING

I know I've seen this done before to the extent where when the image is displayed and you right click on the image, it has the original url: http://www.example.com/example.jpg. I don't think that the image is being stored, maybe just cached. It may be a php/curl/htaccess configuration but i'm not sure.

If there is anyone who can make this happen or guide me, please contact me.

Thanks,
Yonghe

You can easily 'Create' an image from another image at a alternative location.

You just need to look here.. [man]image[/man]
