Re: [PHP] downloading files

[Mario Micklisch]

Hi Aaron,
[..]
The download files are in a directory protected by htaccess which it  
is my understanding that PHP can go underneath htaccess to get access  
to the files.  My problem is where do I put this directory?  I was  
already told to put it outside the web root directory,
[..]
Both are good methods to protect your files. And yes, you can access
your files because PHP is working on the servers side and doesnt need
to obey the .htaccess restrictions you defined for user/clients.
With .htaccess protection you can access them by yourself later using  
login/password combination.

Outside your DocumentRoot you won't have the possibility and without  
any help of serverside processes you will not be able to access them.
That way you also dont need to worry about any .htaccess settings :-)

I think parse_str is what you're looking for:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php

i.e. parse_str(getenv('QUERY_STRING'))

Yes!

Having that in my LiteSpeed-Servers configuration with 3 different PHP
Versions. No problem if you use CGI or fastCgi's. On Apache also possible
via the VHost-Settings to assign a version to any selected VirtualHosts.

stream_set_timeout should be what you're looking for.

might look like this:


-- from the manual:
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-timeout.php

$res will hold the first 2,000 bytes of the result. 

socket blocking would be another way, but the above one looks like exactly
what you're looking for
