Just supose you have the images under /var/images/. This won't be acceded by apache since it's out of documentroot. You can set up some alias to /var/images For example alias /images/ /var/images/ The problem is, that most servers don't let users access directories outside the DocumentRoot of the customers VirtualHost. Also, if you can read that directory, you can create a path images in your documentroot, and create a .htaccess file like this: ErrorDocument 404 image.php In image.php you catch the referrer with $_SERVER['http_referrer'] and display the image sending the header img/jpeg > Also, Is there a way that I can force the .JPG files to open in a > particular software ?
