SarahB12 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey Guys, I was wondering if it is possible to secure a folder will all types of files (images/pdf/word/etc) using php. I do not have the option of using .htaccess. Please let me know of any ideas you might have. Thanks! ~ SarahB ~ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189207-secure-a-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 You can either store these files within a folder that is outside of your sites root folder. Or store them in a database.

Thanks for the information wildteen, I appreciate it! Storing these files outside of the root isn't an option, but I am interested in storing them in a database. The users would have to go through an authentication process in order to access the files. Do you have any resources/tutorials that I can follow to set the files up through a database? Sorry, I have Googled how to store them but nothing very helpful has come up. Thanks again! ~ SarahB ~ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189207-secure-a-folder/#findComment-998944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
