How to access image files out side document root in php5/Jquery?

How can I access an image existing out side of my document root. I give direct path Like this

D:/folder/image.jpeg

But its not displaying. I am using windows OS. My server is LightTPD. My image folder not under any server. Its just inside one folder of my D drive.

I try to create one desktop application using php and jquery. So I am doing like that. Actually I will mount this image folder in a virtual space from there I need to read files. Now for testing purpose I am directly create one folder and creatin开发者_C百科g my application.

Not sure what web server you are using - but for Apache you could create an alias :

DocumentRoot "C:/www/mywebsite"
ServerName mywebsite
Alias   /files  "D:/folder"

For Lighttpd use the following syntax :

alias.url = ( "/files" => "d:/folder" )
