Where is code to do that? no, its probably the worst way. To have the browser reference images outside the document root you'll have to create a php wrapper function that decides on what to do: <img src="/showimage.php?file=foobar.jpg"> showimage.php: <?php $file = $_GET['file']; // authentication if needed... // check for valid file, etc.. header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); // send right content type readfile($path_outside_docroot . $file); Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
