Display image via local path - file:\\\c:\ using PHP - php

Question

I want to load image via c:/user_name/image/image_name.jpg using http://intranet/user/index.php.
<img src="file:///c:/user_name/image/image_name.jpg">
How do I display them?

Answer 1

You realize this would only work if that image is in the exact same location on every machine which will be viewing this page? Is there any reason you can't serve up the image normally, via the web server itself?
Since you're using an absolute Windows path, this would only work on Windows machines, which actually have a C drive, the same directories, etc... It won't work at all on a Mac or Linux or whatever else box, since they don't bother with drive letters.
followup:
after pondering your question a bit, it looks like you want to serve up a specific image that's not stored in your document root and serve it from a specific page. If you put something like this at the start of your index.php:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['username']) && isset($_GET['image'])) {
$user = $_GET['username'];
$image = $_GET['image'];
$path = "C:\\{$user}\\image\\{$image}";
if (is_readable($path)) {
$info = getimagesize($path);
if ($info !== FALSE) {
header("Content-type: {$info['mime']}");
readfile($path);
exit();
}
}
}
?>
and within the HTML:
<img src="index.php?user=user_name&image=image_name" />
Of course, this is very basic, and serving up files this way is highly insecure, but most likely this is the basics of what you wanted.

<?php
$path = "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\Create.jpg";
if (is_readable($path))
{
$info = getimagesize($path);
if ($info !== FALSE)
{
header("Content-type: {$info['mime']}");
readfile($path);
echo '<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'. base64_encode($path) .'" height="100" width="100"/>';
}
}
?>
