[security] user can't know location photo

[Bart]

I have problem becouse I don't want to user clicking right button mouse's on photo had the possibility of checking where is photo on server. Now has the possibility to write down address of photo and he can see it with out log in. Have You some ideas how I can solve this problem  :?:

[Joachim Müller]

sure: don't post the pic on the internet! :roll:
That's the way a webbrowser works. You could try fiddling with "no right-click" scripts (using JavaScript) and other silly methods, but generally speaking: there is nothing you can do about this!

Anyone can get to your files if they really want to, so you can only make it difficult.

For example, you worry that people will be able to see your files without logging in.  Okay, so what do you do if a user logs in and downloads your files? He can then view them on his personal computer, post them on his site, etc.  Right click scripts can be disabled, and URL obsfucation is made irrelevant by the browser cache. If they can see it in their browser, they can get it.

However, if you are determined to proceed along this futile course, I suggest you read the following threads and pages:

And you could make it that users have to login before they can see any pics.  There's no point in worying if the user is registered anyway, is there.

OK guys ... calmly ... I need solution with .htaccess and login to gallery or any good way. I want users can save photos on they hard drivers but I don't want they post link to jpg file somewhere and someone no register user can see that jpg file. For example user who have account login to gallery and get link to jpg file and he/she put that link on another site then anyone can have access to my photo - I don't want that so how I can do it?

What You think about it:

Code Select Expand


<?php 
if (!isset($_COOKIE['ActiveCode'])) { 
    unset($_COOKIE[session_name()]); 
    $name = 'access.denied.jpg'; 
} 
else { 
   if (isset(isset($_GET['name']))) { 
      $name = $_GET['name']; 
   } 
   else { 
      $name = 'some.jpg'; 
   } 
} 

$photo_dir = 'secret_catalog/'; 

$name = $photo_dir . $name; 

header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); 
header('Content-transfer-encoding: binary'); 
header('Content-length: '. filesize($name)); 

readfile($name); 
?>

If you want to keep people from displaying your pics on their site (stealing your bandwidth), there are instructions how to prevent this: search the board for "prevent AND hotlinking".
You can't keep people from entering the url of the pic into the browser though.

OK, cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts...
Maybe you could post a link to your gallery for us to check your modifications...?
