Hi there, i was wondering if there was a way to send htaccess auth
information through php. My application is loading a parent flash movie
which externally loads flash videos within a directory i want to password
protect with htaccess. I was wondering how could it be possible to send
headers to that the parent flash can load the external videos without a
password box popping up ?
Basically there is two solutions. Password protect the directory and work
out a way to get flash to load the flash videos without a password box
popping up.
Or doing a fopen and fread on flash files outside the web directory like so.
header("Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash");
$fp = @fopen("/path/".$_GET['filename'],"r");
$swf = @fread($fp,filesize("/path/".$_GET['filename']));
@fclose ($fp);
echo $swf;
This will output the binary information, then the parent flash loads that
php file with the filename into a movie container. It works but is it
slower than the first solution ?
Let me know.
