Watermark hotlinked images on the fly with PHP.
 

I found a script that lets you watermark hotlinked images on the fly w/o altering the original image. Pretty handy script, even though I haven't used it yet. Figured that I would share.

I haven't looked at it yet... but if this works and works properly...It could be a very handy time saver for certain projects.

Thanks for the link :)

i posted an easy way to do it on gfy in an earlier thread if your interested .. and a way to combat hotlinked movies by embedding them into a webpage on the fly when they are requested

very nice

Will it work if the browser sends no referrer?

neato...

GReat link thanks :)

It's quite good.

But:
Has anyone brought it to work with transparent PNGs? Did not work for me...

If the clients browser doesn't send any referrer it won't work. Everyone with high security settings or privacy software like norton won't see the altered image.

Hmm... does it cache the watermarked image or does it really run a script and generate a new image for every link hotten?

fx: <<<whistles as he remembers his 404 script being run 2000+ times within a few minutes because of fusker>>>
