Keeping some files private
- by user490895
Hi,
I was trying to create a directory of private files that could only be accessed when a user logs in. To do this, I used a folder outside the web directory, and then php to access it, if allowed. 
Here's an example:
function display_movie($file){
printf("<video id='movie' width='960' height='416' controls='controls' onerror='fix()'>
    <source src='movie.php?file=%s' type='video/ogg; codecs=\"theora, vorbis\"'>
    </video>", rawurlencode($file));
}
This works great for images, but breaks the media player.  Also, I've only tested this locally on a Linux machine.
Any ideas? Thanks.
