I want to give a file to a person based on the users rank so I need to hide the files in a directory which is hidden.
I'm using Plesk and my structure looks like this:
api (reachable from https://api.pexlab.net)
cloud (reachable from https://cloud.pexlab.net)
default (reachable from https://pexlab.net)
error_docs
hidden (not reachable)
My PHP script is located in:
api/hub/Test.php (reachable from https://api.pexlab.net/hub/Test.php)
I have tried this:
# In Test.php
downloadFile("../../hidden/hub/download/assets/user/main.fxml");
# Function:
function downloadFile($file) {
if(file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
exit;
}
}
This method works but I want to redirect to this file (show it) and NOT download it. So I have tried using this:
header("Location: ../../hidden/hub/download/assets/user/main.fxml");
But this tried to redirect to https://api.pexlab.net/hidden/hub/download/assets/user/main.fxml which is invalid.
