PhilBon

Here is an update: getimage.php
[php]
<?php
$path = "/home/philbon/public_html/pictures/" . $_REQUEST['id'] . ".jpg";
//$path = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/pictures/" . $_REQUEST['id'] . ".jpg";
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$fo = fopen($path, "r");
$img = fread($fo, filesize($path));
echo $img;
?>
[/php]
Here is a different version: getimagetn.php
[php]
<?
$id = $_REQUEST['id'];
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
echo file_get_contents("/home/philbon/public_html/pictures/tn/" . $id . ".jpg");
?>
[/php]
Once again here is what is code for the site:
[html]
Programming Forums: The image tag is right under this:<br />
<img src="http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3" /><br />
<img src="http://www.philbon.com/getimagetn.php?id=3" />
[/html]
Here are some links:
http://lucy.philbon.com/ or http://philbon.com/lucy/ Webpage I'm wanting the pictures to be displayed on.
http://www.philbon.com/getimagetn.php?id=3 file that is supposed to return the thumbnail of the image.
http://www.philbon.com/getimage.php?id=3 file that is supposed to return the image.

@titaniumdecoy: Alright I've changed that so they are all relative. Even with the change I can't seem to get it to work

@Pizentios: The reason I want to use the middle man is because the script will later be turned into one that would be used for different users or different areas of a website. For example I have Philbon.com and then I have Web.PhilBon.com and Lucy.PhilBon.com, what will happen is to set it up where I don't have to put in all the different image links: philbon.com/images/ or lucy.philbon.com/images, but they can be stored in one location with a database back end to help manage them all. Another would be like for different photo albums, I can have one main page that gathers images from different areas of the site just by having one main link.

@titanium: nope, I get a blank page and if I view source I get a blank page.

thing is, with the code i posted, you could still have your database backend. Your way is good though as it's reuseable code (which is what php does best).

I too would opt for PhilBon's method, as it doesn't require inline PHP to display the image(s).

Have you tried what I suggested?

PhilBon

@Pizentios: Doh! What I ment was I have a database at Philbon.com, I have images at philbon.com/images/event1, philbon.com/images/event2, philbon.com/images/event3, philbon.com/images/event4. In the database it knows which event to go to. So when I call getimage.php?id=3, it will get the row in the table and use the url in that table to display the image. So I if I want a page that has 1 image from each event I only have to call getimage.php?id=3 for event 1, getimage.php?id=4 for event 2, getimage.php?id=5 for event 3 and getimage.php?id=6 for event 4. Does that help?

@titaniumdecoy: I did what you said on the htaccess, this is what it looks like

and then I put tried it on the website: http://lucy.philbon.com and http://philbon.com

my getimage.jpg is the same as getimage.php which is posted above, and then getimagetn.jpg is the same as getimagetn.jpg

If you load getimage.jpg directly, it returns an Internal Server Error 500. My guess is your host has configured your Apache installation to disallow the use of <Files> tags. This works fine on my server, regardless.
