Greetings! I'm porting all my old ASP websites to PHP and have run into a small problem. One of my pages is a gallery in which images can (should) only be viewed by authenticated users in my MySQL database. The images are stored in a non-web accessible directory. For example.. say my root website is in 'C:\www\webroot' and the gallery images are in 'C:\www\gallery'. On my ASP page what I did was have the <img> tag call to an ASP page which would open the file from the actual location on the disk, then stream it to the page. ASP's filesystemobject and adodb stream references open the file and do a binary-write to the page to display the image. Since the page is ASCII and the image data is binary, you cannot mix the two on the same page, hence the reason for the <img> tag calling to a separate ASP page. Now my problem is I'd like to do the same thing in PHP but am not exactly sure how to go about doing this. I've tried a number of the filesystem references, but have had no luck so far. I'm assuming I have to do a similar thing by having my <img> tag call to a PHP page to get the image, which is easy enough, but I can't figure out how to display the image from that page. I'm just not familiar enough with PHP yet to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers.
