Question

In my project, user will upload videos. So i have done simple code to check video file extension and moved to a particular folder. now problem is that only registered user can see that video. So i decided to check session while loading page which contain player to play video. but in view-source option , video file url available. so then can see that video using that url. now i need to check session before accessing that video folder. or is it possible to store video files in DB?
thanks in advance..

It is insane, you need to make a rewrite or something like this video.php?id=blablabla, a then check if user is logged in, if he is, play (readfile) video. What type of file is it?

$id = $_GET["id"];

if($session == true)
{
  header("Content-type: video/flv");
  readfile("my/secret/path/".$id);
}
