MIME Types

[mr_ego]

I need a PHP script that will insert a picture that is
below the root directory of the webserver.

I need to do this with MIME types...


if cookie exists
if the cookie exists..
print the picture from the mime
[image name = $_GET['userid']]
[NOT <img src=>]
Else...
print picture "error.gif"
End If
End If

Huh?

[mr_ego]

i dont want people to have access to certain files directly
[eg: images]

i want PHP to MIME itself as an IMAGE image/png or image/jpeg below the root directory of the webserver.

how can you do this?

[i know it can be done with PERL and ASP]

[mr_ego]

Please?

I have troubles understanding what you mean with "PHP to MIME itself as an IMAGE image/png". PHP is a scripting language, so what exactly do you want PHP to do? Shall PHP think of itself as an image (for that is what I literally got from your description), would that be useful?

Anyway, I suspect you will find these two functions tremendously helpful:
