Application and Templating Framework for PHP

As most of you know, on Windows PHP does not require any specific path to
run, and can be places in any path you want. Now, I'm planning to do a
similar thing on Linux, and later OS X, which both will work the same.
Now, my question: because autoconf requires prefixes for installation, will
using the prefix like /home/user/temp/php, and later moving to another
location, work correctly? If not, what problems can I expect?

Sorry, but that doesn't answer the question of why you/he doesn't
want it to be cached. If he's trying to protect the videos from
being copied then you're going to need to make it clear to him that
you can't stop that from happening without DRM which is a whole
other kettle of fish and usually not worth it.
Aside from that I'm not aware of anything else you can do to stop
clients caching your content. At the end of the day you have no
reliable control over what happens after the data leaves the server.

Caching is one thing, but viewing the video is another -- unless I
am mistaken.
While it's true that you have no control over the video file once it
leaves the server, however, what the file does in a foreign
environment is something else.
Typically, DRM schemes are needed when someone wants to protect
digital media from being copied to play in standard players. But, if
you want to restrict playing a video to just your site, then that's
another matter.
One can place actionscript in the video that will stop it from
playing if certain conditions are not met. For example, you can have
a file that exits in your site, but no where else. If the video is
downloaded and an attempt is made to play it, then the video simply
looks for the companion file and if it's not there, then it won't
play.
Is this not true?
Indeed, but things like that are easily stripped. In addition to that
most DRM schemes have been broken. It also tends to create issues for
some users who may want to view the videos at a time that suits them
in a place where it's not feasible to stream it from your website. At
the end of the day it comes down to the website and what limitations
the users will put up with. Either way it's beyond the scope of this
list.

Quick GD question, I'm building a custom CAPTCHA, and I want to 'trace'
random letters (hopefully from a random font) with a brush. Is there an
easy way to do this, or am I going to have to build some ridiculous
custom library on my own to do it? Thanks!

You'll need to ask that on a GD list. It's not PHP-related.

Thanks Per. Yes, I'll indeed use the socket connection which will be
the minimum process delays and overheads I can get.
In option 2 you responsed:

> Communication.
The delays and overheads in message queue (in my option 2) may be
smaller than the socket, but I guess that might require the external C
server to be compiled with the PHP module as they are totally
seperated.
Thank you.
Kind Regards.

Hi all,
i have to forbid users of my site to view images directly (i.e.
writing the image URL in the address bar) but they'd be able viewing
them from the pages of the site. What's the best way of doing it, or
something similar? Is there a common strategy using PHP? Thank you for
any hint :-)
Ciao,
Stefano
