Question

I load Flash file using PHP.
test.php :

$widget = WidgetFactory::getInstanceByHash($_GET['hash']);  
$file = $widget->getUrl();  
$_GET['param1'] = "97df5ea7342b7e55b7ef3d402b585d1a";  
header("Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash");  
readfile($file);

The url of $file is for example : “http://adresse/component1.swf?param1=XXX“
If I type “http://adresse/test.php?hash=XXXXXXXXXXXXX“ in my browser, I can see the flash file WITHOUT the parameter param1.
I tried to add : $_GET[‘param1’] = “97df5ea7342b7e55b7ef3d402b585d1a”;
But it doesn’t works.

So, I want to know if it is possible to add parameters by using header function…

Answer 1

A GET parameter is a parameter set by the HTTP_REQUEST but the header() function sets parameters of the HTTP_RESPONSE so there are never GET parameters in the response.

What is the actual problem with your code? How should the result look like?

EDIT: You might try to get the file using file_get_contents() or curl() appending the parameter:

echo file_get_contents($file.'?param1=97df5ea7342b7e55b7ef3d402b585d1a');
