I am going to make an image hosting system in PHP.
I wondered how I should hide my images from users so they can only be accessed through a special url.
I need to discuss all techniques that include htaccess.
i would prefer that instead of having a PHP process send the file and hog server resources for long while its sending the content.. create a script which copies the file over to a directory with a random name and then just send that file to the user and have another script clear out that directory after set intervals .. if creation time older than 30 mins .. delete .. that way u minimize u just need an apache process to send back the file instead of apache + php process.
