So let me clarify for myself (and others information, I guess). Apache webserver needs to have mod_rewrite installed to effectively handle the requests, but I can just use PHP to rewrite the URLs via the $_SERVER suprglobal, like this:<pre> $_SERVER[] <?php print_r($_SERVER); ?> </pre>I will handle static file requests via the database and a record ID, whichultimately returns the correct URL to the file to my application andredirects in order to download the file. Am I on the right track? I'm sure Ijust said something that is wrong.
What exactly are you trying to do? Writing a download script and crafting URLs that will feed that script?
So, something like this? http://example.com/download/234234 …with "234234" being the ID of the file to download in the database? If yes, then I would recommend this: 1. install mod_rewrite on your server 2. enable .htaccess override in httpd.conf 3. create an .htaccess file in your web root4. add rewrite rules in in .htaccess that translate "http://example.com/download/234234 " into "http://example.com/download.php?id=234234";
5. create a script called "download.php" and put it in web root6. in download.php, pull the ID of the requested download out of the URL with $_GET['id'] and then query the database for the file name and path
7. proceed with your download script to pass the appropriate headers to the browser so that the file downloads
