Outside the documentroot (/var/www)

Hello,

I have a question.

I followed step 4 step to this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/video_streaming_lighttpd_flowplayer_p2 .

Ther is one step with creating 2 new folders (/var/videos/incoming and /var/videos/flv).

So I cant understand, how this should work, if I include the flv video into the flash player, because the files are outside the documentroot (/var/www).

Please help me.

my question is, how can I upload a video over php into a dir outsite the document-root?

Thank's

 

It's up to you which methods you want to give your users to upload their content (e.g. anonymous FTP, upload through an HTML form, etc.).

If you want to use PHP, take a look here: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php

Thank you.

But I want to upload the videos over a PHP-script in a directory outside the /var/www (I use lighttpd).

Like in this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/video_streaming_lighttpd_flowplayer_p2

Ther will create a dir named /var/videos/incoming.

How can I upload a file over PHP in a directory outside the document-root (/var/www)?

Thanks
