    hi,
    I am using PHP to code my image hosting project...
    And i want to know "how many times an image is downloaded?"
    cause we have to give our members a link like:
    --------------
    http://.../imagename.jpg
    not like
    http://..../view.php?name=imagename.jpg
    -----------------
    Now I can't calculate exactly how much bandwidth a member used,
    need your helps...

    Where is your gallery?

    I think you would be able to do this with a mod_rewrite.

    So you would "serve" an image-23.jpg

    and your mod_rewrite would tranlsate this to

    view.php?image=23 (count and redirect)

    Just a simple example...

    You could have something like .../img/username/imagename.jpg

    Where /img/ is a php script, /username/ is a variable, and imagename.jpg the filename/variable - so when requested, /img/ will knock up another download count against /username/'s imagename.jpg record.

    If that makes sense :p
