HNE everyone!

[2 rewrite rules not working together]

hi all,

 

i have researched this, and tried many variations to get this to work but it just doesnt seem to like it. I hopeing there is someone here who can fix this for me.

I am writing my own mvc system, more as an exercise than anything . i use rewrite to pass everything through the same file. that was all working fine.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]

</IfModule>

 

i wanted to add a rewrite for admin calls to go via a specific directory getting re written to a file called admin.php.

 

so to try and put in layman terms any call starts with www.mysite.com/a/ goes to www.mysite.com/admin.php

and anything else is covered by the original rewrite rule.

 

i tried this but it only seems to break it

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(a/.*) admin.php?url=$1 [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]

</IfModule>

 

i spent ages on this and i know some genius out there can crack it for me in 5 mins!

 

thanks and HNE!

[can't get my htaccess to work the way i want! - restricted access.]

Hi all

 

I am really gonig mad trying this out, I have a folder which file uploads are in, and only want them to be downloadable via access from one php file, which also resides in the same folder. its a basic php forcedownload script. I dnot want the files to be able to be accessed by typing them into the browser (i have already hidden the file names, and added checks for logged users).

My efforts have seem to be all or nothing, i.e cant access anything in the folder or you can anything.

 

i had this in the top of the htaccess:

# disable directory browsing

Options All -Indexes

 

which wouldnt let me access the php script that downloads the files (the php download script is called by updating the src of an iframe via ajax, I am using an iframe hidden to trigger the force download)

 

if i delete the htacess it works fine but then no security.

 

I tried adding this to the htaccess and it didnt work either:

 

 

AuthUserFile /dev/null

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

 

RewriteEngine On

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.ethickink.co.uk/geoline/.* [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://ethickink.co.uk/geoline/.* [NC]

 

RewriteRule /* http://www.ethickink.co.uk/geoline/pages/index.html [R,L]

 

 

I really am not understanding htaccess very well  :'(

 

any help would be much appreciated

[force download script failing with PDFs.]

mmm that didnt work either, i will i think strip out the stuff above and have another go and work backwards from having just the force download and re add the logging bits to see if that makes any difference

[force download script failing with PDFs.]

Hi guys

 

This one has been trouble for me for a qhile now, and I have tried various methods and none seem to work on pdf downloads, the file downloads only 1 byte or there abouts. All other files download ok , just PDFs seem not to.

here is my code, the $filecontrol->insertFileDownload() are  just database logs being inserted

 

 

<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
include("../classes/files.php");
$filecontrol = new FileControl();
$var_fileid = $_GET['fileid'];
$userid = (isset($_SESSION['userid'])) ? $_SESSION['userid'] : 0;
if ($userid == 0) die('you are not logged in');
if ($filecontrol->isFilePublic($var_fileid))
{
$file = "../filedump/" . $filecontrol->getFileName($var_fileid);
$filecontrol->insertFileDownload($var_fileid,$userid,true);

}
else
{
if ($filecontrol->doesUserHaveRights($var_fileid))
{
	$file = "../filedump/" . $filecontrol->getFileName($var_fileid);
	$filecontrol->insertFileDownload($var_fileid,$userid,true);

}
else
{
	$file = "../filedump/" . "norights.txt";
	$filecontrol->insertFileDownload($var_fileid,$userid,false);
}
}
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file,"."),1));
switch( $file_extension )
{
  case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
  case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
  case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
  case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
  case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
  case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
  case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
  case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
  case "jpeg":
  case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
  default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}

header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers 
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($file)."\";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile("$file");
exit();

not sure why you would want to md5() it?, maybe i mis understood that part.

 

you could md5 values in php and have them in the querystring, not sure why you would bother personally, unless I missed something?
