I have a web site that have HTML pages stored in a private folder. I want a PHP script that can read the HTML file then push it to the browser.

My tought was to get the html file with the file() function in PHP. Then echo() it to the browser. That works for the html content of the page. The images and the css does not follow however.

I heard of a “render” function in IIS or ASP that render the HTML content of a web page in a private folder then send the images in a binary format. Does PHP have something similar?

Currently I read the file as follow :

$htmlFile = file(PATHTOFILE);
echo(implode('',$htmlFile));

The reason we are trying to do that is to protect the url / information of the pages contained in this folder. The user will have to connect to the web service, then the PHP script will push the html pages

    You can use the tag base to solve the problem of the relative path of the files, something like this:

    $html = file_get_contents($url);
$html = str_replace('<head>', '<head><base href="FULL PATH OF DIR" />', $html);
echo $html;
