I was interested in the same thing. I want to be able to restrict the access to a .jpg file so that only an authorized user can get to it. Using: print("<img src="$imgFolder".$_GET["img"]."">"); } just means that he the user doesn't need to enter the right folder, but he needs to have access to that folder. I have found a workaround, by reading the file into php and doing something like: <img src ="getimage.php?image=filename"> getimage.php checks to see if the user has the right access via my authorization code and then I do readfile($filename); The problem is that I think this might be a little slow, particularly if there are a lot of files. Also, the users can't cache the file in the browser - the next time they visit the page, they need to load the images all over again. Does anyone have other ideas, as to how I could limit access to the files using another method? Thanks
