Hello, I want to open files in a directory other than the Document root via HTTP on the client machine. How do i do it ? For example I have .JPG files in a directory /toallocate on my Server running FC2, Apache2, Mysql, PHP5. I allocated certain .JPG files to some users and moved them to a directory called /allocated and logged the absolute path in a Mysql Table with the user name. Now we know the username and the files allocated to him and their path. When the user logs into his account, he should see the file allocated to him and they should be clickable links so that when he clicks them they open in the required software. I tried just providing links to their absolute path but then it doesnt work because Apache looks for them relative to the Document Root. Please some one help me in this concern, I will wait for a quick reply. Also, Is there a way that I can force the .JPG files to open in a particular software ? thanks in advance Vaibhav Sibal -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
