Wow, I think it finally clicked.
Sorry that took so long.
The whole point behind using PHP was to try and copy or call the
file from
the server side so the user does not see the path to the document.
Using
HTML and Javascript it is extrememly easy to just view source and
see the
path. Whereas using PHP it would take the regular user a bit more
work to
view the path which is why I wanted to go that route. But having to
grant
the anonymous internet account access to the server would be just as
bad if
not worse.
My application retrieves a list of docments that the user can view
based on
search criteria. When the user clicks on the document I wanted to
somehow
mask the location the document is being pulled from. HTML and
Javascript
are so easy to circumvent, even to the everyday user that I wanted
to do
something with PHP since it's code is not viewable when you view
source
since it is run on the server.
Have any of you attempted something like this?
What about using some type of a dispatch script? Locate all the files
outside of the doc root and then just call: viewdocument.php?
ID=12345678 ? Although now that I've typed that I realize that you
would still be running the same issue.. Unless you used javascript in
your PHP to call the file maybe?
