Problem f'opening SWF files

[kid_c]

Hello,

I'm storing my content on a directory not accessible by web. In my pages I have the image tags call a page named viewcontent.php?file=$file to display the image. Works no problem.

I thought I could do the same for SWF files, but whenever I try the page just loads forever. Here is the code of my viwcontent.php page:

<?PHP
$ext = split('.',$_GET[file]);
$ext = $ext[1];

$fd = fopen($GET[file],'r');
$content = fread($fd, filesize($GET[file]));
fclose($fd);

if ($ext=="jpg") {
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
}
elseif ($ext=="gif") {
header("Content-type: image/gif");
}
elseif ($ext=="swf") {
header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
$content = base64_decode($content);
}
elseif ($ext=="html") {
header("Content-type: text/html");
}

echo $content;
exit();

?>

Any ideas how to make it work ???

Thx

get rid of base64_decode($content); would probably do it.

I got it working =)

It seems it doesn't like me using ?file= in the embed tag, so I changed my script to be called like

/viewcontent/content_id/extension (forcing viewcontent it to php in my vhost.conf of apache), and now works all the time perfectly =)

Another little thing that may help you in the future is to set error_reporting a little higher. Try running your script with this at the top:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

You'll get a few small things, but it will make your code work on all systems.
