Re: [phplib] protecting served files/images/mp3.... From: Alex Black (enigma <email protected>)

I think you might be much better off just moving the files out of your
document root, and building a page that just pipes through the content of
the file after doing a "permission" check to see if it's allowed.

Agreed, a class that sens the right mime headers based on the filename of
best guess at its contents would be cool.

I'm doing essentially the same thing with gifs stored in a database, and it
works like a charm, and the html is simple:

<img src="foo.php">
