User acces to files after login

[sever3d]

Hi

I am making small service with .swf movies to watch. I want to make files unavailable to watch for users thar aren't logged in.

So ...

You log in to my site  - You have access to .swf file

You are not logged in .... you can's see it

All logged users don't have access to all files. just for files that they make account for.

 

ex.I made my account to watch videos from one category and I can't watch any movie from any different category than that I have access.

 

How to do that ? Maybe change chmod for files for user that have access to that file.

1. Create a login system,

2. add groups

3. apply to viewable options

 

try googling for "php create login system" that should get you started

I know how to make login system. but how to restrict access to files on server

anybody can insert path in web browser to file for example www.mywebsite.com/video/category/01.swf or www.mywebsite.com/zip/category/01.zip

and watch or download movie.

I want to restrict access to those files for not authorized users.

Just use sessions

ie

<?php
session_start();
//login check
$_SESSION['UserGroup'] = $row['group'];
//...
?>

 

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['UserGroup'] < 2) //whatever!
{
die("No Access");
}
header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
readfile("../category/01.swf"); //folder outside/below the public folder
?>

[sever3d]

readfile("../category/01.swf"); //folder outside/below the public folder

??

I have addon domain on my serwer

/public_html/mydomain.com and inside that domain.com folde I have my website and that is root folder for that domain

where should I make

readfile("../category/01.swf"); //folder outside/below the public folder

  ?
