I don't have any code for this, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I want to load images or navigation menus dynamically. Is it possible to build a database of images and then use php to display them? Or something along these lines. I know this must be possible, becuase I see sites that do something like this, and I cant seem to right click the image and save it. Does this make any sense? Thanks. -Chris Storing images in a db is not a good idea. instead store them
in your filesystem an have a reference to them in your db. Then you can make everything ;-) Even there´s no real security for grabbing pics. If your client can see them, they are on his/her machine. To prevent the right-click, you have to use JavaScript, but that only works, if the user has it switched on. A little more secure is putting the pics in flash-movies. But I think there are already programs out, which allow to extract pictures and componenets. HTH Oliver
