convert todays date to string and remove invalid characters not allowed in a file name.. use the resultant string as a name for ur folder containg the images... in the asp pages.. set the image folder path as a variable "myimagepath" which should be manipulated using the current date converted to a string with all invalid characters removed...when calling images in ur pages.. the code shall be something like this <%=myimagepath%>/image001.jpg then put a code in the global.asa file to do the following 1. get todays date and subtract 1 from it 4. if the folder is found.. rename it to todays date converted into a string and all invalid charcters removed 5. if the folder is not found of yeterdays date.. then resume next this way u will have a unique folder name everyday and if someone leeche out images / file form ur server.. it wont be for any long than a day !!

This sort of stuff sound like it's for a warez site, but whatever... I was thinking about it, and (unrelatedly) I bought some software online. Anyways, they had a similar type system where my order ID was the directory where I downloaded from. Now that would be really useful for me. Now I'll either look for a script for that or try to figure out how to create virtual directories on the fly...

I don't see why it should be for a warez site, you could use it to stop people from hotlinking your images, thus saving some bandwidth. ------------- Hehehe... |
