musclehead Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm looking for a solution to password-protecting files and/or folders without using .htaccess. I have it setup currently w/ a basic authentication and session model. User "A" logs in and is redirected to the "protected" page w/ session handling to prevent users from getting their directly. However, I have PDF files linked from that protected page which could be easily linked to without logging in. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orio Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 You can save the PDF data in a database and when someone accesses "show_file.php?filename=abc.pdf" show it's contents only if they are authorized. This can be done in a much nicer way using mod rewrite but you said no htaccesses... Orio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
