    Have you tried leech protect?

    In your cPanel interface, go to the "Security" feature block and click on "Leech Protect" and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Well, Leech protect from cPanel wouldn`t do any good if the image is loaded through php. Meaning, it`s not a clear .gif/.jpg url line.

    One could always do some fancy stuff with PHP and .htaccess so you have a path like /button/123.jpg -not sure how Leech Protection would interact with that though, even though from an external standpoint it would appear to be a static image file.

    I know what you mean. I`m thinking maybe mod_rewrite and some rewrite rule to work on the already rewritten url ? Only then I see the leech protect working....One more thing moobymoo could try is this. With php you can check the place where the php file is loaded, so if it differs from your domain, you can just have the file deny loading contents.
