PHP :: How Do I Hide Files From Download Without Php?

How Do I Hide Database Connection Files Using PHP Include Files?
I have the following at the beginning of the PHP page:

<?php require_once('Connections/conn.php'); ?>

I want to hide the connection file, "conn.php", so it's out of the web
accessible file structure. I understand putting them in the php include
directory shoudl do this. For example, let's say the directory I put them
in is /www/phpIN/, and /www/ht/ is the root web directory.

So I put "conn.php" in the inlcude directory (/www/phpIN/conn.php) and
removed it form CONNECTIONS directory.

I Can't See Any Dll Files In Php Download?
I downloaded the windows binary php4.0.4 from php.net and it says to move a certain dll file to your windows directory. I looked in the dll folder and it is empty. So, I tried downloading a php/apache package at a site just for windows users, and when I unzipped that package, I saw the dll files scrolling by in the unpacker window, but once again the dll folder was empty. Where are they?

Files Download Restriction
Is there any way where i can restrict a file to download only 10 times.

Zip Files, Then Force Download
Is there any examples or scripts that already will do this?

I need to zip an arbitrary amount of files, say maybe a $files array full of path names to the files filled dynamically from database based on an id number...

then i need it to automatically force a download of the zip file to the browser, then automatically delete the zip file when its finished...

Select Files To Download
i have made a page with several photos of a party. There is a
index in the page, and under each thumbnail there is a checkbox. With
them people can select the photos that he's going to download, but i
don't know how i can send the selected photos. I think "compress" all
the selected photos in a file and send it, but i couldn't do it. I
used zlib and bz2 libraries, but i dont know how i can put more than
one file, and even with an only file the compress file dont work. What
i make is open the file, read it and then compress the string get of
the read in the new compress file, but this file is empty or have a
code of the zlib.

Corrupted ZIP Files During Download Via PHP
I am posting this rather lengthy description here in hope of getting at
least some insight into a problem that is really hurting my business,
since I have come to the conclusion that my problem is at least partly
PHP-related.

Some time now I have been having transfer problems, i.e. my customers
downloads of large binary (ZIP) files are often corrupt.

A corrupted file now and then can of course never be avoided, but I get
several complaints from customers every day. Of any specific file,
approx. 1 out of 4 downloads (larger than 100kB or so) are affected.
I have spent months trying to find the source of the problems without
success, but I have been able to rule out many possible causes. Here are
some facts:

1) The actual files are OK on the server. Direct (unencrypted) links are
fine, so it's not a general problem.

2) About 50% of the customers download (the exact same files) from
another source. I don't even get 1 complaint every two months from those
customers, while I get 1-3 complaints _every day_ from those who
download from my server.

3) The customers have various SW/HW/OS, so it's very unlikely that it's
a user problem. Plus, the same customer often download from both places,
but only have problems with the files from my server.

4) I have shut down all scripts for a while, so that only a static
website remained, but it didn't help.

5) I have had this problem on three servers: The present RaQ550, the
previous RaQ4 and the RaQ4 I had before that. So it's highly unlikely
that it is server-related.

6) I can easily reproduce the problem myself. As I looked into this I
found a systematic error:

Analyzing corrupt vs. clean ZIP file downloads with a binary/hex editor
clearly shows that the error is systematic. Clean ZIP files have a lot
of ༼h' bytes in them. In ALL of the corrupt ZIP files ALL (well, most)
of these bytes have been exchanged for ƋC30h', i.e. TWO bytes ( 00h ->
5C30h ) !

Since ƋC30h' equals an escaped zero, i.e. "", my guess is that there
is a translation error somewhere.

So, what does PHP have to do with this? Well, my download links to
purchaseware are encrypted by the PHP "ewportal":

From the few facts I have been able to uncover it seems there is
sometimes a problem with corrupted ZIP files depending on the
setting/compilation of ZLIB. If anyone on this forum have experienced
similar things I would very much appreciate if they could share.
My servers PHP configuration is at:

Protect Download Files
I´m developping an application that needs to show some videos, but in
a protected envinroment. Any user must be authenticated to see the
videos. But for example, if anyone know the path of the videos, can
access directly to this site and download it without authentication.

If I write in the location bar the url of a video, I can download
without problem because the application cannot test if the user is
already authenticated or not. I´ve read something about RedirectMatch
and it works well but now the users cannot see the videos.

I try to write an example:

..- #I write this rule in the httpd.conf
RedirectMatch (.*).avi$
/myapplication/tools/downloadfile.php?filename=$1

With this rule I redirect all the requests for the video files include
the request of a window media player, but I don´t want to do this.
When I show the video directly on the web, I don´t need to redirect
but when is a direct request from url to download the file, I must
check if the user is authenticated.

Browser Tries To Download .php Files Instead Of Executing Them
I'm running Redhat 9 and just upgraded from PHP 4.2.x to 4.3.1 and no
when I try to execute a script on my local server here it opens a
window to try and download any .php files. I think Apache isn't
loading the module, but when I add in:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

it can't find the module and I can't find it on my system under
libexec or modules or anywhere else for that matter. What do I need
to do to httpd.conf (or php.ini) to make it execute these scripts?

User Download Files From Database
I make a code to Download file userfiles from database these are userfiles, admin upload files and user download it from the database,but there is little problem i can't fix it Code:

Download Files Quickly = Hang
This isn't exactly a PHP-related question, but I'm hoping that the
community of developers here will have experience dealing with it. We
want to allow users to view large files on our site, but we've realized
that if users in IE click from one file to another too quickly (before
the previous files have fully loaded), future files do not load until
they close and reopen their browsers. We believe this is because of
the two-concurrent-downloads limit -- apparently Firefox correctly
recognizes when a download has been abandoned on the user's end, while
IE does not, and this causes problems.

A Follow-up To My Download-all-files-as-a-zip-file Post
I made a script that successfully creates a .zip file of all the files
in a directory on my web server, but now what I haven't figured out
how to do is how to have it automatically deleted when the user
successfully downloads it, as otherwise my server would eventually get
clogged up with all these zip files.

Download-scriptto DL Files Outside The Public_html Folder
I have a small Linux webserver, and want to find a (php) script
that lets my users download files located outside of the public_html
folder.

Creating Download Manager For Multiple Files
Has anyone run across some sort of download manager to be able to download multiple files at a time via http with PHP? I run a mp3 site and I would like to be able to allow people to download whole folders at a time basically the same functionality as ftp but with http. It would be kind of like the smart download thing that netscape has but cross platform compatible. Any ideas?

Allowing Users To Download Files Using Headers
I am trying to create an area where a user can come to a page that

target="_blank">$name</a></font></b></td>

Download Files From Remote Server To Local Webserver
I am trying to create a php page whereby people can download files from a remote server to their own server (to update their webdirectory with updated files/images etc). So for example one php page (e.g. update.php) should be able to download files from a remote server to a specific directory on their local webserver. Is this possible?

How To Allow Downloaded Files To Be Splitted When Using A Force-download Script ?
I suppose you all know force-download scripts. The problem is that
these scripts don't allow files to be splitted when downloading them
via a download manager.
I've found a solution to enable download resuming, but now, it remains
the splitting problem. Does anyone have any idea ?

Display Files Inside A Directory? With Download Button.
My first version of simple code, display files and directories but when i tried only to display pdf files and subdirectories inside the given path, with pagination and downloadable option, everything went wrong. Code:

Curl - Resume Http Download - Apache Log Files. Gz
I am writing a Php script to run on my home PC (Windows) that downloads an Apache access log file and inserts new entries into a database.. The only way I can access these log files is through a cPanel URL that delivers a gzipped copy of the log file with all entires for the current month (up to the current date and time).

I want to run this script once a day (at night) and would like to download the gzipped file by resuming from where I left off the day before (instead of always downloading the entire gzipped file).

I have tried using CURL with the option - curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, $prev_offset) - but that always restarts the download from the beginning. ($prev_offset is the previous days file size).

I'm not sure what the structure of a gzip file is, so I don't even know if it is possible to resume a gzip file download when the file has been rebuilt in the mean time (cPanel creates a gzipped file with the same name from the raw log files every time you access that page in cPanel). My guess is that this is probably not possible. ... But .... I am trying to make the resume work to find out for myself and I can not make
the resume work.

The bottom line is that I am trying to avoid downloading the entire gzipped log file every time I need to download it.

As an alternate, I have been successful using gzopen, and then I can gzseek to the previous offset, but I am unable to use a secure URL (https) with the Zlib functions (gzopen) with my Windows version of Php (the username and password have to be included in the cPanel URL to access the log file, so I'd like to use SSL.)

(I have started another thread to figure out how to get a Php Windows binary with https and ftps as registered streams (built with --with-openssl in the ./configure command), but so far I have gotten no replies).

Question: When using gzread, where does the decompression take place - on the server where the file is located, or on my PC after the compressed data is downloaded? Does gzseek work on a compressed file, or must it be uncompressed on the server first? The point being; when I use gzopen and gzread, am I downloading compressed or uncompressed data from the server where the log files are located?

I can use either method, but want to meet two requirements.

1. I do not want to download redundant (old) data every day (I want to resume where I left off) ... and ...

2. I want to send the request for the log file (containing a username and password) using SSL.

Automatic Download Of Files Using Application/save On Windows XP SP2 Browsers
For the past two years, we have offered files for download through a
secure website. Users, after clicking on a link, are redirected to a
PHP page that passes the appropriate header information to the user
and inquires if that user wishes to download the file.

A sample of that code is below:

header('Content-Type: application/save');
header('Content-Disposition:attachment; filename="'.$file_path .'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-length: ' . filesize($full_file_path));
readfile($full_file_path);

However, with the enhanced security now available in Windows XP SP2,
users are no longer prompted to download the file. In fact, Windows
XP SP2 not only suppresses the download but will not even present the
end user with an option to download the file. Has anyone else
encountered this type of situation? If so, is there a programmtic
solution to, at the very least, prompt the user to download the file
without requiring the user include the website as one of his/her
trusted websites.

Hide My IP Address
Currently I have build a website and I m building contents on this site usgin
PHP/cURL by Collecting data using cURL from some other site.
Recently my server's IP address has been blocked by the other website.So my
script (that extracts data using cURL ) could not get connection to the other
website and so could not getting data for my website.

Is there any way using cURL or some way else that the other server could not
track/see my IP from where the request is coming etc.

Hide URL Parameters
I've my site wich uses POST forms and javascript (see below). Since it's
online, some people have called saying that some parts of my site are
unavailable.

I've seen that the part not accessable are the one redirected by javascript:

echo("<body bgcolor="#555555"
onLoad='document.forms["FormNext"].submit()'>
<form name="FormNext" method="POST" action="edit.php?".SID."">
<input type="hidden" name="PrevPage"
value="".$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']."">
....

I've many param to pass to the edit.php, and I must avoid some of them being
too visible, that's why I've take the POST forms. Now, I can't get further.
So I decided to go "GET", but it's there any way to pass the entire params
in some crypted way:
say edit.php?data=csdkykljr3q9sajdsd<ckmcdkasmcs

and in my edit.php, a function uncrypting the code passed in data.

Hide One Of The Checkboxes
is there any way that i would be able to hide one of the checkboxes if it is pulling from a database.

Here is the scenario in my website i have all of the different regions (of my website) listed from 1 - 6 on the database. I have just recently made it so that the users can post in different regions other then the old just one region. My problem is that there is an all in the database table. Normally i would just get rid of it but it would void out all of those posts with the region selected as all. What i need to do is hide or get rid of that all without hurting the web site. Is there any way to do that? here is my code:

Hide Php Code
I have a webserver which some user have their own accounts on. I want

Hide Extension From The PHP Scripts
How can I hide extention(.php, .html) from the scripts.

Hide PHP Code On Server
I was wondering whether there was any FREE technology for hiding/encrypting PHP code on the server - such that server administrators cannot look at it and perhaps distribute it. I am aware of "turck mmcache" which looks brilliant. The thing is - boy is it complicated to set up and this complication does not lend itself well to my being on a virtual server where I do not have extensive admin permissions. Does anyone know a solution more appropriate for PHP code on a virtual server (apache)?

Hide Php File Extention
I noticed on most sites, there are no file extentions. Just urls like mydomain.com/action?something&result=this and there is no file extention.

An example of this is digg.com. I know its a php site but theres no file extention to be found. At first i was thinking they used mod_rewrite to get rid of the file extention, but i dont think that anymore.

Hide Javascript Source Using Php
I was thinking about using php to write the script file, something
like:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://insert_url_here.com/myScript.php"></script>

The php file then echo'ing the source code. If that works then how can
I stop the php file being loaded directly, that is the user browsing
to http://insert_url_here.com/myScript.php and seeing the source. I
only want it to write the source when it is called through the script.

Hide Password Input In CLI PHP Script?
I have a command line PHP script that logs into a network service with
a user name specified on the command line. The script then prompts for
a password.

literal characters?
