Display a Image inside CodeIgniter

[eluser]tank6b[/eluser]
Hi all,

I will like to show a image via this script

Code:

$im = file_get_contents('http://localhost/kyntana/assets/plain/images/badges/kyntana-logo-30px.png');
header('content-type: image/png');
echo $im;

But want to make it with a url like "site.com/i/myimage.png"

I think is a route problem but how can I do that?

Thanks in advanced!

Why don't you just do it all with mod_rewrite? Why are you going through CI to get to an image?

I will like to get the stats from how many time this image is displayed, that´s why i need to show it this way and get the info inside CodeIgniter, add it to the DB etc.

That solve how to display the image but I need to load the image from a url like this "site.com/i/myimage.png" and this url will call a controller inside CI.

Check out the routes function. This lets you use a short path like that and route it to a specific controller. Something like this might work:

Code:

$route['i/(:any)'] = "images/load/$1";

Where 'images' is your controller name, and 'load' is the method.

Why do you need to load it form a url if you regenerate the image using php?

Code:

// helper code
function image($path)
{
   include('image.php?path='.$path);
}
// controller code
function selectedimage()
{
   $file = $this->model->get_file_and_up_counter($this->uri->segement(3));
   // load helper with function or load it in the contruct
   image($this->config->base_url().'kyntana/assets/plain/images/badges/'.$file);
}

You can not set variables in the path of an include (?path=$path). In this case it will access $path from the same level as the include, but if you did something like ?path=$thepath then $path in image.php would not be valid.

I'll try that and let you know if work.

The image badges will be hot linked from external sites that's why I need to keep the url as a normal image on the browser.

The route thing work like a charm!
