Thanks. That'll do it.

Ok, I know it's a long shot, but is there a way for PHP to change the bitrate for an mp3? Here's the scenario: Someone uploads an mp3 to me in 256k and I want to convert it down to 128k. Any chance that's possible?

I want to have a file be downloaded only by logged in users and only by those authorized. How would I go about doing this? If I just made a direct link to the file, someone could simply type in the URL of the file itself. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I could get some good information on building new modules for Apache in linux or windows. I have the book "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" which is a great guide for Apache 1.3, but I'm not sure how to do the same for Apache 2.2.

I know how to create a socket connection using the ip address of the computer you want to connect to. But I'm trying to connect to a computer that is behind a router. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot. That looks like just the thing I need.

Essentially what I want to do is have my web server send username, password, and what data it needs to my database server. The database server performs checks on the username and password and then sends the data back to the web server. I don't necessarily want the web server to be able to diectly access the database on the other server. I want the database server to authenticate the user and then access it's database and then return the data to the web server. Is this at all possible?

I don't really have anything written yet. I was just looking for advice on how to go about doing it.

Here's what I want to do: I have 2 servers. On one I have a mySQL database. On the other a website. Is there any way to have my website server send a request to the database server for some data and have the database server return the data? Thanks a lot!
