bluenoser will become famous soon enoughbluenoser will become famous soon enough


Caution PHP picture and URL grabbing question

I have a picture that I want people to use via hotlinking, however I don't want them to know the direct path so I have written a script that will output it.
so the URL to teh pic is mysite.com/pic.php

Now I want to do something more, I want to log the URL of the sites that are grabbing the pic. Is there any code that I can use to do this? I am on a shared server if it makes a difference.

Thanks

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] contains the data you are after, be sure to check and make sure it looks valid before inputting it into a database in case it is spoofed tho.

Also be aware that some firewalls block it so it may end up being blank.

it may also be best for you to change the extension of the file to the extension the image should be and use a htaccess file to make it so that file is parsed by the php engine. It will not be so noticeable then that you are using a script and people wont try circumventing it.

Good point. That's when the abuse starts to come about.

That is a good idea. Right now I am in the testing stage for my script. I will definetly add that to the list of things to do. It is a rather easy thing to make work.
