But somehow... I'm still curious... Please check this link to make clear what I plan to do... http://binusti2002.host.sk/sf/start_map.php Here, I put my Image in my Host.. It does work... but the Image is so big and it slows down the access... so that's why I want to put it locally... By the way... all the 'city' symbols on the map is changed automatically using mysql when user is success in attacking some 'city'.... To test the map... you can simply click on one of the 'city' symbols... So... what I gonna do to increase the speed ??? --www.kapsul.org-- DuFronte -----Original Message----- From: Beau Lebens [mailto:B.Lebens@curtin.edu.au] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 1:55 PM To: 'dufronte@kapsul.org'; php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: Call an Image from local Harddisk thru PHP file in Remote Host. This won't work, because the HOST needs to be able to access the files on your machine, which is a gross security risk, and isn't possible in this manner. The only way I can think of that you would be able to do anything useful like that would be to have an HTML page load an image using <img src="C:\images\map.gif"> or somthing like that, but you wouldn't be able to modify that image using PHP (tho you could use DIVs or something to overlay other details perhaps?)
