Here's a stumper... hopefully someone can offer some insight for me. I have an image hosting service; by default, the script that I bought tells users to link directly to their uploaded images.

Example:

http://www.website.com/images/Filename.j...

- not -

http://www.website.com/images/Process.ph...

I know how to change the way it works so it would point to an image processing script, but that would not fix the 15,000+ images that are already being directly linked to... so, what I need to know is how I can embed HTML code both above and below an individual image file. So I MUST use .HTACCESS and PHP.

It seems doable, although I don't know enough about .HTACESS to pull it off on my own. I'm 99% there, that is, I have been able to redirect from the actual image to a PHP file which retrieves the requested image - but when I output the HTML code it simply shows a broken image in place of the actual image.

Hope that was all clear enough... anything is appreciated. Thanks!

You can have PHP reprocess the image and display it with a watermark.

The PHP would be something like this; the code below assumes all your files are JPGs, and there will be a querystring variable named file to identify the image to display.

<?

header('Content-type image/jpeg');

$name = $_GET['file'];
