Hi knowledgeable people.

Context
-------
I'm building a very basic website, in php, to display a catalog of
jewel to be sold. The website have to basic functionality, one is the
consultation of the catalog and the other one is the maintenance of the
catalog. I have a MySQL ddatabase that contain the catalog, except the
images, which are keep in a directory.

website structure

..\ PHP scripts to consult catalog.
..\images Image of the catalog jewel.
..\admin PHP scripts to maintain information. Password protected
directory.


I have a share hosting, the web-server run under Apache and I cannot
create new Apache user.

Problem
---------
I have one directory where I store all the image of the catalog. I need
to allow everybody to consult it in order to display the image, but
only authorized user should be able to create,update and delete images
in it.


I need some help the basic way to protect this using PHP script, if
possible?


Anybody have an idea?

Francis
