What i'm trying to do, is for my forum hide the name of a file, so I want to md5 hash the filename on upload, and insert it into say ibf_md5image
in the table ibf_md5image, it would have a column for the md5 hash, and the original filename. So then in my forum, I would link the image to the md5 hash. My question is in my script watermark.php I want to hide the filename, so people can't remove the watermark by simply going to the original.
SO currently when I click an uploaded image on my board it goes to
http://mysite.net/forums/uploads/watermark.php?na...ome-image-name.jpg
I want it to go to
http://mysite.net/forums/uploads/watermark.php?name=md5hashedname.jpg
So, because the the md5 hash of the filename isn't the exact filename, what I want to do is have my watermark.php show the image, and figure out the filename using some sql. But i'm not sure how I would word the statement.
select real_name from ibf_md5image where hash_name = $variable
now somehow, it would have to get the md5 hash name from the url, so the link on the board to the image would have to pass the md5 hashed filename to the variable.
Is this possible?
