This is how I do it:
1) put image files in folder that is not accessable from browser, like
outside of http root dir.
2) in the img src tag point src to script like <img
src="/image.php?imageID=$someID">
where $someID is the id of image or name of image you want user to see
3) the image.php script will have the function to make sure that user
has right to access the image, for example the user is logged in.
if user has the right to view the image then do something like this:
$pathtoimage is the full path you have to calculate based on image name
or imageID
$strFile = file_get_contents($pathtoimage);
if($strFile)
{
header('Content-type: image/jpeg' );
echo $strFile;
}

Hi all,
i have to forbid users of my site to view images directly (i.e.
writing the image URL in the address bar) but they'd be able viewing
them from the pages of the site. What's the best way of doing it, or
something similar? Is there a common strategy using PHP? Thank you for
any hint :-)
Ciao,
Stefano
