jonperks Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I guess its not strictly php but I'm looking for a php solution...I have a wmv video in a htaccess protected folder. If i embed this video even with the user logged in, it wont play. Any ideas? I need the video to be protected so that only members can view it. Thanks...

fiddy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 In embed src you point to a php file (src="url.php"). In URL.php you print the path of the video file (echo "xxxxx";). At the top of the page in url.php you check if the user has loggedin or not (using cookie or session). ONly if the user is logged in you print the URL(path to video file).

fiddy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have not tried it. But i guess it works. Please give a try and also let me know..Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27443-embed-video-and-htaccess/#findComment-125487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonperks Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 It doesn't appear to work. I think its purely the htaccess now allowing the file to be included in an embed?Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27443-embed-video-and-htaccess/#findComment-125489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonperks Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 I pressume your idea is that you hide the video url from the user? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27443-embed-video-and-htaccess/#findComment-125493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yeah my idea was to hide the url from user. Presently no ideas other than this if any will post.

jonperks Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks anyway, there must be a way to do it. I don't see how its different to storing any other files in a htaccess protected folder Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27443-embed-video-and-htaccess/#findComment-125498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
