[Solved] load images using php not direct access [closed]


You need to use readfile:

    function user_files($file_name = "")
    {
        // Check file_name is valid and only contains valid chars
        if ((preg_match('^[A-Za-z0-9]{1,32}+[.]{1}[A-Za-z]{3,4}$^', $file_name)) 
        {
               header('Content-Type: '.get_mime_by_extension(YOUR_PATH.$file_name)));
               readfile(YOUR_PATH.$file_name);
        }
    }

There is some issues around directory traversal etc – so you’ll need to check the $file_name first like I have using the preg_match
