I mean when user browser calles :


<img src="http://www.somesite.com/[B]backround_image.png[/B]" border="0" width="175" height="221">


the server gives him instead


<img src="http://www.somesite.com/[B]backround_image.php[/B]" border="0" width="175" height="221">

The reason that i am looking for such solution because some sites that i work on does not allow dynamic extention for image. Hope some one help me here.

@aerodudeFeb 24.2007 — You can't do that with PHP. If you're using apache then look up mod_rewrite, that'll work.

@SheldonFeb 25.2007 — you can force the output with PHP to what ever you want.

look at http://php.net/gd for more

You can do that starting with plain HTML, which is what this is.

The only thing you must do is ensure that the PHP script used in <img src> actually returns a valid image - which could be accomplished using of the many techniques available in PHP.

And stay away from mod_rewrite for that...

@NogDogFeb 25.2007 — Among the several possibilities are the following:
[list=1]
  • [*]Just have the link point to a .php file in the first place.

  • [*]Use a "Redirect" statement in a .htaccess file on a case-by-case basis, e.g.: Redirect image.png http://www.yoursite.com/images/image.php

  • [*]Name your image-generating script with a .png suffix and use .htaccess to tell Apache to process it as a PHP application, something like:AddType application/x-httpd-php .png

  • [*]Use a .htaccess [url=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html]mod_rewrite[/url] command to rename requests for .png files to be rewritten as requests for .php files

  • [*]Anything else we haven't though of yet

    @bokehFeb 26.2007 — Aerodude is right! It can't be done with PHP (without some reconfiguration outside PHP).

    Sorry. I promise not to do that again ... too often...

    <?php
    function replaceFile($content)
    {
    return (str_replace(".jpg", ".php", $content));
    }
    ?>

    <html>
    <body>
    <?php ob_start("replaceFile"); ?>

    <img src="http://www.somesite.com/backround_image.jpg" border="0" width="175" height="221">
    <?php ob_end_flush(); ?>
    </body>

    Possibly, or maybe [I]castigation [/I]or [I]vituperation[/I].

    Although I haven't really thought about it that much.

    @NightShift58Feb 26.2007 — The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.[/quote]Libel, if this forum will be kept as a legacy for generations to come. Is it more "volatile"? Then slander.

    They suggest "defamation", where the difference is not relevant.
