hide the true url of the file from the browser

[Anon]

hi gays,

I would like to know any php3 script it hides the true url of the file from the browser (including Lynx).

I want to make two server : one is for login and one is for video playing.

However, if ppls see the video URL they can directly access to the video playing without apply and join to be a member. That why I want to hide the Video URL or maybe any alternative to block out non member users access.

Thank you very much

If you want, you can hide almost everything under a single
url. The manual, or perhaps it was an article here, describes
how to give a certain php script access based on the url,
and the remaining parts of the path become parameters to
the script. In other words, everything request from e.g.
www.my.com/videos/nnnn.mpg runs the script my.php
with /videos/nnnn.mpg (or perhaps just the nnnn.mpg part)
being a parameter.

Non-streaming videos can served by simply sending the
appropriate headers and then use readfile() to send
the contents.

RealServer supports authentication via a text configuration
file or a msql database, your script could write the required
records (though IIRC the user will then have to reenter
their ID and password before gaining access to the
realvideo content.)

And any example given would be a good help for me THX.

I too am having this problem. What I want to do is redirect my URL and prevent visitors to my site from seeing the 'true' path to my index.html file. Could someone point me to the article that Kirk Parker was referring to? I've searched the site, but with no luck.
