Limiting access to pictures


SnowControl

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I'm trying to develop my own website album, where registered users can upload their pictures and share them. The pictures are grouped into albums, and each album can either be private or public. If a user wants to see the pictures in a private album, it is neccessary for him to be given permissions by the owner of the album first.

 

I can limit access to users on the PHP side of this ,displaying text, links, showing a list of what albums a user can access and so on. But i cant figure out how to restrict access to the actual picture files that are saved on the server. I've turned off hotlinking of pictures in the .htaccess file, is this all thats needed?

 

Thanks for any help.
