Hotlinking protection is best handled by the server.

Hotlink protection is easy. Just read this article.

This is the part of the article mentioned above that I thought might help you. Not the php part.

The next step is to add the following code to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*jpg$|.*gif$|.*png$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !yoursite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !friendlysite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) /showpic.php?pic=$1

The last line can be changed to any file you wish. Does not have to be a php file.
Could be changed to an asp file or an image file if you wish

I could be wrong but I think .htaccess only works w/ Apache servers.
If he's using asp theres a pretty good chance it's and IIS Windows box unless hes on a apahce box running chile asp.
