[PHP] image protection

2006-10-06 Thread tedd
Hi gang: What would be the best way to protect images in a directory from being harvested? I know that when an image is shown to the user, while there are some javascript tricks to deter the user, there is no real way to stop the user from capturing the image, for they already have it.

lurkin' around trying to keep images from others, while still have them shown on yer own page seems a bit futile. watermark 'em. other stuff to do is use flash witch I've never done. (due to PPC restrictions) I've done some of this auto open/close windowing js, witch also includes rightclick
