Serve image with PHP and use header() function

<?php
$theImage=[whatever the URL or filespec to your image];
$image=file_get_contents($theImage);

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header("Content-type: image/jpg"); //whatever image type is...
echo $image;
?>
