Hi,
I have a site with images that I want people to download but not have
the direct path to. ie. I do not want them to be able to just view the
source, find the dir and then download everything or direct link to
them.
However I can see no way to do this other than keeping the images on
disk, having a php script read them and then spit them out. example:
view.php?92348924 where 92348924 is a code that translates to the
image on disk.
Can anyone think of a better method? If not, what is the most
efficient way to do this (ie. avoid the most i/o)
Thanks!
P.S. I also realize I could use .htaccess to stop direct linking and
turn off directory indexes. Still I think there might be some other
problems with .htaccess
I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but here's a great php
based defense against hotlinking.
