Rather than trying to prevent theft of your images why not create a little app that steganographs some copyright information... With some thought it's possible to hide textual content within an image At least then you can prove it was yours...

As you suggested, I really would love to get a watermark which is invisible with initial viewing but activated once a copying/printing command ( Can be Ctrl+C or Alt+Printscreen) is used. If you can help it would be delighting.

The fact is, if you're putting content on the public web, it can--and will--be downloaded by all of your visitors. (they have to download it to display it after all) You're going the wrong way about protecting your images. No matter what Javascript tricks you try to use, all I have to do is disable Javascript. And you're going to seriously annoy your visitors who are not technically savvy, whether they have the intention to "steal" your content or not. Personally I would not come back to a site that assumes I'm a thief. You might want to look into other methods to protect your content, such as login authentication and watermarking. PHP can help with these. But if you come on this list and demand ridiculous things, don't expect to be taken seriously. A better way to ask your original question would have been: "How can PHP help protect web content?"
