I use .htaccess files to allow users access to files in certain directories based on their IP addresses/ranges. They are linked to these file from a page (not within the htaccess protected directory) generated in PHP. Is there a way to display a variable on this PHP page based on whether or not the user will be allowed access into .htaccess protected directories? [more inside]

Does anyone have a good solution for copying files (say... image files) from a CDROM to a user's local disk using a Flash interface (and any appropriate add-on)? It should be cross-platform happy, and specifically able to be developed on the Mac.
