Hi,


I'm looking for a PHP script or a Perl/CGI script which you can use to upload and host images in .gif/.jpg/.png format. But the link to the image will carry not these extensions, just a string with chars like without extension http://www.domain-name.com/images/?=12345abcde
or with a PHP extension:
http://www.domain-name.com/images/12345abcde.php

And an URL like this will just load the image(image.jpg) without using the actual filename of this image(image.jpg).

An example of what I mean, is like:

http://www.enom.com/domains/GifOutText.asp?t=X333030313734363E15203B3C333C30313B343830267B363A38

I know this is something different and it's in ASP, but just to give you an idea of what I mean.

Can anyone point me to such a script?
Thanks,
Michel,

You can accomplish it in many ways depending on what you're really trying to do. A ForceType directive can parse /images/ as a PHP file then "images" can read the text that comes after that in the URI and parse it.

hmm do you think this is also possible with using .htaccess?

Yes.

.htaccess:

<files image>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>


Those 3 lines in a .htaccess file in the folder with the file "images" would tell it to parse "images" as a PHP file even though it doesn't have an extension.

Then you can use http://www.example.com/images/text

"images" can read the word "text" or any other string you put after it like this:


$page = explode("/",$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);
$string = $page[1];

simply output
Content-type: image/jpeg

this is the trick

In a php file use :
header( "Content-type: image/jpeg" );

"Content-type: image/jpeg" should change for a gif file, it will be "Content-type: image/gif" for a gif file..

You will need to determine the file type first and then generate a valid header and then output the file using readfile() function..

OR there is another simple way ... use include() function..
