The Little Guy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 How can I track an image? Can I use php to track an image, if so how? when someone connects to an image, I would like it to save information in a database. I am going to make page counters that people can have, so if they want a page counter, such as for there myspace, blog, ebay auction, etc. they can place one. Some sites only allow HTML, so this needs to work on those sites. I noticed that you can place get information in an image URL, and the image still works. So How could I track an image so I can make updates to a database? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46781-image-tracking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
per1os Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 You would need every image to be linked to a php file. IE: http://www.images.com/image/image.jpg would soon become http://www.images.com/image.php?image=image.jpg From there the script would update the database, find the actual location of the file and than readfile and write the header for the file type and basically display the file. Fun stuff! www.php.net/readfile I am sure you can find some examples in the user contributions.
