Setting up a php and htaccess script
Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 2:29 am
Hello everyone!
I am setting up a system where I have a directory of renders (pre-cut images for graphics) and I do not want them accessible to anyone who is not a member of the premium usergroup on my vBulletin forum. I used a htaccess script of "Order Allow, Deny" to make the directory completely unaccessible. I'm sure my error lies in here, but I'm not sure.
I used the following code on the page that will allow the user to download the files from:
And when I load that page in my main page using a php include, it doesn't let me download the rar file. Do I have to include some type of php code inside of the htacces? Or did I mess up my coding? Also, is there a way to detect if the user is a secondary member of that usergroup?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

echo "You do not have permission for this page"; }
