Re: restricting access to images

Hi, I once wrote a little php script, it was created in order to log every access to that image, but i think it could work for you. I can't find the script anymore, but it works like this: In the html file (let's call it "idontwantyoutoreadmysource.html"), instead of the <IMG SRC="various.jpg"> you write <IMG SRC="image.php3"> . The image.php3 file is only a script that control the HTTP_REFERER and it returns the various.jpg only if the HTTP_REFERER it's equal to idontwantyoutoreadmysource.html If i find the source code somewhere i'll post it.
