the file.

e.g.
         /home/sites/your_site/public_html/images/image1.jpg

         http://www.yoursite.com/images/image1.jpg would probably work.

But ...

/home/sites/your_site/public_html/getImage.php
/home/sites/your_site/hidden_images/image1.jpg

>Now, there is no way I can load image1.jpg from my browser. I have to
use getImage.php, which I assume would require me to login or
authenticate myself in some way.
----------------------------------------------------------
I have my photos in /public_html/img/gid directory and with this path:
<img src='http://www.mydomain.com/img/{$gid}/{$photoFileName}' in getImage.php the server displays the photos.

Now if I put my photos outside of the public_html like this: 

/hidden_images/img/gid

what would be the correct path to the photos in the getImage.php script?
