    I'm trying to get a cool hotlinking system up, so basically if they hotlink an image, it displays the image and a backlink to my website. But i'm getting confused...

    The pictures are all in siteurl.com/pictures/ - so i need to do it so if they load a picture, they are redirected to a php file..

    Right now i have;

    RewriteRule ^pictures/(.*) http://www.url.com/showpic.php?pic=$1

    But it doesn't work.. anyone got any suggestions please

    but you need to add a condition so that you are only effecting remote sites that are linking to your site.

    RewriteEngine
    OnRewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursite.com [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^pictures/(.*) http://www.yoursite.com/showpic.php?pic=$1
