ex) The user would see <img src="/img/photos/Awesome_Picture_By_John.jpg"> by looking at the source code

but the actual file name would be /img/photos/12b7dch2.jpg

any help is appreciated. Thx

    It can be done pretty easily. I think you could do something like this with mod_rewrite, turn the existing

    /img/photos/Awesome_Picture_By_John.jpg
    

    Into something like

    /img.php?id=Awesome_Picture_By_John
    

    and have img.php pull the real filename out of the database.

    Here is a good mod_rewrite tutorial to get you started.
