actually, i take that back

you could base64_encode() the image file data into a single php file,
with the call to the image then setting the headers and delivering
base64_decode()d image data

something like



fool.php
---

<?
if (!$_GET['imageID']) {
?>
blah blah blah
<img src="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>?imageID=1">
<?
}
else {
    switch($_GET) {
        case "1":
            header("Content-type: image/jpg");
            base64_decode("INSERT BASE 64 ENCODED IMAGE HERE");
            break;
    }
}
?>

right? Wouldn't this work? It's spastic and this is just a (more or
less) theoretical example that would need to be properly written.

Thoughts?
