Restrict direct image viewing

Hey, a small comment, the view method is reserved for php 4 so watch out that...

On the other side, you should use a file path - not an url path.
And you don't really need the gd library functions.

Code:

$path = BASEPATH . '../secret/2008/06/05/img_11.png'; // Correct the path if necesary but it has to be a local path
$mimetype = get_mime_by_extension($path); // will need file_helper loaded
header("Content-Type: ".$mimetype);
readfile($path);
