It's in a protected directory becuse they are statistics for the website and
the Hosting company decided so and it can't be changed.
I'm the webmaster and I can give access to the client to certain directory
(where they are my scripts) so the concurrents can't see what's appening as
this is a secret.

Also I've tried to do a "imagepng()" but instead of showing the image it
shows the source of the image.
The possibility to show images exists (you can show a document with imagejpg
or others) so why not if coming from a protected directory ?

Bob
