I have a script where by users upload an image on a website and the image gets uploaded to an FTPServer. The name of the file is stored in a database, so when users click on a link, the query string is used as a reference in the Database to get the image name. The only part I’m stuck on right now, is how to display the image on my webpage using php. Is there a specific function to get a copy from the FTP server and display the image? I dont want do download the image to the web server, and then display the image and then delete it, as this could take up a lot of space if the web site has many visitors.

    The “big image hosts” typically have web access to their “storage servers” as well. So when a file is uploaded to their image server it’s accessible with a URL. You’d want to determine the url that points to the file you just uploaded and place that in your html (in the img tag. Let the user’s browser retrieve the image, as opposed to your web server first retrieving it and then displaying the page.
