Hi!
I'm trying to make some mpegs available only to people who authenticated
themselves using php. But all the solutions I found somewhat unpleasant
because I uses chmod to set the file attributes to u=rw and then
used either
i) readfile("ftp://name:password@server/path//test.mpeg");
or
ii) header ("Location: ftp://name:password@server/path/test.mpeg");
But in case
i) the browser asks if I want to download the file or view it. If I choose
view the browser suggests to save the movie as myscript.php and if I choose
view it ´doesn't display anything.
ii.) the browser displayes my username and password in the statusbar
And in both cases it downloads the whole file(I guess cause I use ftp)
before starting the mpeg programm(where nothing happens afterwards in case
i)
Is there a better way? ´Like telling the server via http my login data and
sending the file to the users browser?
Thanks
Thorsten
