I need to display an mp3 file on a php page. The mp3 file is 4MB. I am storing the mp3 outside the document root. The client does not want me to use htaccess, instead they want me to use a password only with the text box for the password imbedded in the page. I don't want to people to be able to find the mp3 file on the server and send a link to their friends. They have to be able to login to hear the mp3.
I need to call the php script, query the database for the name, path and file type and then in an imbedded source tag in the php generated html page call a script called movie.php?fileID=1.
I have already written the script. I checked and the info is being queried from the database. When I go to the script using the url domain.com/movie.php?fileID=1 I see the quicktime Q in the browser and it acts like it is downloadign the mp3 into the browser. But after a minute or so the Q turns into a broken Q and the mp3 does not play.
I also tried putting an embedded source tag in a file named test.htm and the player does not come up.
I tried using readfile instead of using fopen and fread. I have also tried using fopen and fread.
If anyone cah help please do.
