msg:4172461 | 7:00 pm on Jul 18, 2010 (gmt 0) | I am looking for simple inexpensive script to run on a Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP server. This website will be for virtual customized file requests mysite.com/files/3456/myfile.doc The directory "3456" is a virtual directory whose name is contained in the MySQL table. It is a unique directory and in the same row is the client name "Jane Smith" When the web request comes in for the /files/ subdirectory, A lookup is done in the db to see the directory name 3456 and that this is for "Jane Smith" A simple file process can do a fixed length character substitution to replace #*$!#*$!#*$!#*$! with "Jane Smith " (padded with spaces). There is one master file with the #*$!#*$!#*$!x replacement area. And immediately the file is served. Essentially this site has no webpages, just the serving of the target doc file. Are there simple available PHP scripts that can do this? My google search turns up alot of complicated solutions... I'm looking for simple and fast. Thanks!

I don't know of a pre-built solution, but I bet you could have it built on elance for under $100.
