I use Apache and mod_rewrite to let an URL like "images/<number>.gif" be translated into a request for "image.php?img=<number>". That way, the user can save the file from her browser without it mangling the file name. The configuration directive is: RewriteRule ^/images/(.+)\.gif$ image.php?img=$1 [L] My script outputs the correct mime type in the headers and 'echo'es the gif file directly. Just make sure that you don't echo anything else than the gif file, such as a newline at the end of your script. For more info, look in the file "features.images.html" in your PHP documentation. / Johan -- johan@tiq.com -- http://www.obsession.se/johan/ --
