To keep the pictures in place you have to make a webshare to your picture directory. It depends on what kind of server your using what the procedure is to make a webshare working

Your url will then looks like this: http://<yoursiteUrl>/<webshare>

Your solution would be a little tricky to understand.

You will need to use php to read the file and output as data.

i.e. your img tag would look something like this.

<img src="output.php?file=file.jpg" alt="file.jpg" />

basically the output.php will display the file.jpg

Assuming you're using Apache, mod_alias is probably what you're looking for.
