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? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
