I don't agree. First of all, picture search engines don't use filenames, they use ALT attributes and surrounding text.
Secondly, you can still make the images available using both the database ID and a urlencoded version of the original filename: http://myserver.org/fetchimage.php/33445/guberstrasse.jpg Just use $PATH_INFO. fetchimage.php looks up 33445, finds the correct file, sends the appropriate headers, and pumps the correct file's data to the browser. The browser and search engines think the filename was guberstrasse.jpg. Everybody wins. miguel On Sun, 17 Mar 2002, andy wrote: > I don't agree.
