Hello all,
Following up with my success last week with putting downloadable files
in a directory above the web root and then using a combination of
fopen and stuff to download the file, I am now trying to do something
similar with images.
However, what I am trying to do is to put an image file above the web
root, then use PHP to display that image in the web page, and not
download it. I have the feeling that this isn't possible (all
solutions I've seen involve using header() function, which won't work
since this is midway down the page), but I wanted to make sure. This
will return the binary source of the file:
print file_get_contents($file_path);
but doesn't display the image. Is there any way to have this (or
something else) generate the image?
What I get from the text above is that you're trying to actually display
the image *inside* the HTML, which you can't do. You need to link to the
"image" (which may be an image fetcher script), for example:
<img src="image.php?img=123456" />
And have a corresponding "image.php" script that does the header and
binary output.
