    <p>How do I prevent direct access/download to mp3/wav files while allowing a flash player to access them with .htaccess (or PHP)? I've been looking for a solution with only partial and non-functioning solutions to show for my efforts.</p> <p>The solution below seemed like a great fix at first but it also blocks my flash player from accessing the files. <b>Could I only allow access from particular pages?</b>:</p> <pre><code>&lt; Files ~ ".*\..*"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; order allow,deny&lt;br /&gt; deny from all&lt;br /&gt; &lt; /Files&gt; </code></pre> <p>The solution below seemed great at first because it didn't allow people to view the files in the directory but if the user knows the exact URL of the music file, they can download it:</p> <pre><code>SetHandler application/x-httpd-php&lt;br /&gt; SetHandler application/x-shockwave-flash </code></pre> <p>Now, I came across <a href="http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this post</a> that forces a user to produce a username and password <a href="http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">using htaccess</a> but I dialog box pops up when on the flash player screen. <b>Is there a way for the page the send the login info without the user doing anything?</b></p> <hr> <p><b>If this isn't a secure method, can someone suggest a secure and relatively straight-forward method of implementing this restriction feature? URLs and examples would be greatly appreciated</b></p> <p>P.S. This is a WordPress site, hence, I'll be using <b>PHP</b> as a programming language to implement any solution.</p> <p>P.S. Looking to block novices from downloading, NOT hackers/crackers/internet wizards.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
