PHP show page on a protected directory

[Bob Bedford]

Hi all,

I've a site on a hosting that has a protected directory for statistics. The
only way to give access to those stats is either give access to everybody or
give the customer the admin login.

None can be done as stats are private and I won't the customer to know the
admin pass.

So it's there a way to show html pages from an other location ? I've done
with fgets where I replace all references but png images are show as code.
Thanks for helping.

Hi Bob,

Yes, that could work: just let PHP fetch the pages.
Of course you must also fetch the images!
And set the right headers: remember that a HTTP request for a webpage
follows roughly this route:
1) Client asks for an URL
2) Server answers with the HTML
3) CLient examines the HTML and send SEPERATE requests for all the extra
content (like all images).
4) Servers answers each request by giving the image back (and the right
headers).

So as far as I can see from here: If you make sure the script that
returns the images sets the right headers in the response you should be
fine.

It depends on the statistics package you're using and the way the
directory is protected. But in general, it *should* be able to be done.

But why shouldn't the customer have the admin password. It's their
site, after all.

Their site, my code...

Unfortunately the stats directory is protected...I'll try to "rebuild" the
page with images as actually it's the problem.

Thanks to both for the help.

Cheers

They paid you for developing the site, didn't they?
