How to restrict access to images |

CHMOD is the easiest way of restricting access, but won't help if OP wants to base access on $_SESSION. I would create http://www.mywebapp.com/images/imagecont...eimage.jpg completely separate from your CI instance. Then, place the actual image files in either (a) a subfolder CHMODed so that only local users have access, or (b) a folder outside of your www directory so that Apache will never serve it. Then, get your PHP script to validate $_SESSION, read the image file, then serve it as an image: Code: header( "Content-type:image/jpeg" ); Edit: note this might have a performance impact, as you're running every image through PHP |
