I know this is not actually a PHP question, but I figured this would
be the place to go to get a good answer. I have a website for the
neighborhood I live in and people's main concern is security. All the
pages I made in PHP and I have a login for users and all sensitive
information requires users to be logged in. I would like to post
images on the page, but I know that if I put them on a page that is
behind the login the images are still floating on the web server and
one can get to them without logging in. Is there a way to have the
images available only to the pages and not directly or, for that
matter, any other way to accomplish something similar. Thank you.

Actually the BEST place to get the right answer would be in an area in
regards to the question.
I believe that your question is best placed in the NG related to your
web server.
But for my 2 more cents, images don't just float around the web server.
They will be placed in a directory. You will need to change your web
server configuration to prevent direct access to that directory, whether
it being placed above the root directory(no changes needed), or
modifying that particular directory access.
Good Luck

The way to do this is to place the images above the web root and then
write a script which 'fetches' the image. That script can also check if
the user is logged in so that unauthorised users cannot view the images
(though nothing you do will stop them from copying and republishing the
images once they have them).

You're right. It isn't a PHP question. As in an appropriate newsgroup
and you'll get a good answer. Here you'll get good answers to PHP
questions.

Hello,
I need to copy/paste image from Java application to/from the System
clipboard. On windows everything is just fine, but on Mac OS is not.
The problem is that when I transfer image to the clipboard it's
content type is image/x-java-image and when I try to paste it in some
Mac application (for example MS Worf for Mac OS) it doesn't work. I
think that this happens, because Word doens't understand the
image/x-java-image content type....

Hi there,
This might sound like a silly question but, technically could an image
object be used for any image format? For example if I were to make plugins
for my application, could they be made to return a specific image format as
an image object, such as PSD (Only for viewing purposes). Thanks in advance
Nick.

Hi,
What is the better way to save image into a database ?
Just save the path into a field or save the image itself ?
I have 20 000 images (~ 10/12 Ko per image ) to save.
