  1. If you're using mysqli in PHP then you still need to write the SQL code. mysqli is just an extension for using MySQL, it's not an abstraction layer like you would get with Zend Db or something where you're building PHP method calls instead of writing SQL queries.

  2. I understand that an RSS feed is XML, but the links that go in that XML, the software used to create the XML, and the server security aren't related to XML. That's why I was asking why a question about directory security was in the XML forum. IIS is Internet Information Services, the Microsoft web server that runs on Windows. You didn't say what your environment was so I pointed out that URL rewriting can be done using htaccess in Apache, or another way in IIS. I assume nginx and other web servers also have a way to set up URL rewriting. Linux isn't a web server, it's an operating system, like Windows. Apache, nginx, IIS, etc are web servers. Your Linux server is probably running Apache. Yes. Like I mentioned, browsers often send partial requests for audio or video content. If you don't support that then the client will wait until the entire file finishes downloading before starting to play it. I'm not aware of a class that will do everything, when I implemented directory security and authorization through PHP I wrote that myself. Things might have changed since then. There might be something for your web server, like an Apache module, which is built to take a request and run a PHP script to handle authentication and authorization, or maybe a module that would check your database directly without going through PHP. I looked into some of those things but at the time I didn't find anything that perfectly matched what I was trying to do.
