the issue with that is how to return image

You have to provide some headers, like Content-Type, Content-Length,
Content-Disposition. Here's an example:

<?php
class FileServer {
function serve($path) {
$mime = self::getMimeTy pe($path);
$size = self::getFilesi ze($path);
header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile($path) ;
}

function getMimeType($pa th) {
$extension = strtolower(subs tr(strrchr($pat h, "."),
1));
if ($extension == 'jpg') return 'image/jpeg';
if ($extension == 'jpeg') return 'image/jpeg';
if ($extension == 'png') return 'image/png';
return `file -bi $path`; // uses the 'file' command,
available on unix.
}

function getFilesize($pa th) {
return filesize($path) ;
}
}
?>
