This reply will consist of two parts. 1 part bashing, and 1 part help.

nah, no bashing, just some pointers.
1- Per our TOS, try to give us more....descriptive subject lines in the future
2- You can uncheck the box "Automatically parse URLS" and then they won't become links...

As for the code help, PHP is perfect for something like that. Given the url:

http://www.domain.com/URLshower.php?image=/images/something.gif&height=100&width=200

you could have:

PHP Code:


<?php



$ext = pathinfo($_GET["image"]);

$ext = $ext["extension"];

if ($ext == "swf") {

   $code = "<embed src=";

} else {

   $code = "<img src=";

}



print "<html>\n";

print "<head><title></title></head>\n";

print "<body>\n\n";

print "<center>\n";

print $code . "\"" . $_GET["image"] . "\" height=\"" . $_GET["height"] . "\" width=\"" . $_GET["width"] . "\" />";

print "\n</center>\n";

print "</body></html>";

?>

Obviously, that doesn't completely do what you want, but it should display the proper image or embed the flash file for you... I haven't tested it, so please forgive me for syntax errors.

I wouldn't store the filename etc inside the querystring like that. What would hapen if i manipulate the querystring a bit ? I could probably browse all files of your application.

It would be safer to just add
URLshower.php?page=1
and then look the fileadress and dimensions up in an aray, or a file or a database or hardcode them inside URLshower.php.

This way, they can stil manipulate the querystring, but only to other files you have included in your collection.
