Images

[canadabeeau]

Now as you would know usually when you visit an image via URL you get like just the image, now I want to make it so when people either via google images etc. visit that images URL they not only get the image but a webpage with the image in it, any ideas??

 

seson greetings and thanks in advance

Well, if they are visiting an images URL directly - you can't inject any logic into that.

 

The only point of access that you have to control where people go would be from mod_rewrite in your apache configuration.

When I find the image website that does it I'll post the link, cant remember the name of the site now :-(

I can tell you that if the link doesn't end in image.php, they aren't using php to redirect you to something else.  That is in the web server config.

yeah the images are like "image.jpg" and it display them but with their website around it, i stumbled on it while googling an image and clicked it and it came up with the page rather than the image and the page in a frame below, maybe someone here remembers the site name that does this

I'm a bit rusty with .htaccess but try something like this:

 

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$ http://www.domain.com/redirect/$1.php

 

What this should do is redirect something like:

http://domain.com/images/picture1.gif

to

http://domain.com/redirect/picture1.php

 

Now, you really dont need to make a file for every pic. All you need to do is have a custom 404 error page in php that busts out the file name and if its a graphic displays it in an included fragment of HTML.

 

But like I said, I'm a bit rusty. Maybe someone more current could proof redirect.

You can use .htaccess and check for referrers. If the referrer is from Google images, then use mod_rewrite. You will need something in the image to identify it, like an ID in the image name. So you could have _{ID_randomString.jpg}

So say  _{3222_8due938d.jpg}, using mod_rewrite you can grab the 3222 with regex, then point that to a php file like  image.php?image_id=3222

 

Inside image.php you will have to 301 redirect them with ID to an album with the 3222 ID.

if you have an image url:

 

http://site.com/img/pic.jpg

 

Just parse the url and curl the site

 

$img_url = "http://www.phpfreaks.com/media/images/forums/logo.png";

$url = parse_url($img_url);
$u = "http://".$url['host'];

$ch = curl_init($u);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; da; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
$str = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch); 

if ($str === false) {
echo "cURL failed  ";
die();
}

echo "<img src='{$img_url}'><hr>This image found here!<hr>";
echo $str;
