Update Link files

update a dynamic link

[newb]

Hi webmasters of the world,
I have a really headache problem, i have 2 websites, one stores information like site1.com and the other stores data like site2.com.
People from another site always stealing my data links and linking to there sites, i have tried to using htaccess but it doesn't work for wma, and wmv files.
i'd like to rename the folder where i storing data in site2.com every day, but then my data in my site1.com will have to update links, this is too many links in database, i can't update it all at the same time.
so i think one solution can solve this problem is make a php tool, this tool can automatically update linking from site1 to site2 which i stored in a txt file, for example site2.com/folder/link.wma when i change the name "folder" in this site to site2.com/folderblalala/link.wma the site 1 can update the name "folder" to "folderblalala"
and my data storing in a text file like this:
data in a txt file in site1.com/data.txt

file name¦¦http: //site2.com/folder/link1.wma
file name¦¦http: //site2.com/folder/link2.wma
file name¦¦http: //site2.com/folder/link3.wma
file name¦¦http: //site2.com/folder/link3.wma
file name¦¦http: //site2.com/folder/link3.wma
............................................

all i need to do is update the renamed folder from site 2, but i don't know where to start, and don't know how to do, i hope some one can help me through this.
Thanks very much
Johny

do you want this to go both ways or is one site going to be the opnly one where changes are made?

[newb]

Yes, at last one master answer my question, i think you can do this,
i think i only need to update links in the site1.com/data.txt doesn't matter what i rename the folder in site2.com, site 1 will update linking in the text file as the tool (if you can help me to make it) does it. the linking in the text file in site1.com/data.txt will keep the
file name¦¦http: //site2.com/$folder/linking.wma so the
file name¦¦http: //site2.com/ and /linking.wma
will be the same all the time only folder will be rename everyday.
Thanks

well, if you want them to change together you would need some kind of communication between the two. To make it automated I would think you would need an array of names that one site could use. Then it could somehow post that new name to a file and the other site could look at the file and do the same.

Can't you just store all of your files above the root and use a script to link them? This would probably stop direct linking. You could then use the htaccess on the delivery script, which would be a php file.

Ok you have a good idea, but i don't know how to make the comunication between them 2, could you make this work?
second i'm trying protect link as you said too.
have a look at the code:
<?php
$ADMIN[defaulturl] = "http://example.com";

$okaysites = array("http://example.com","http://www.example.com");

$ADMIN[url_1] = "http://www.example.com/download.php3?product=";
$ADMIN[url_2] = "http://example.com";
$ADMIN[url_3] = "http://example.com/new";

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$reffer = $HTTP_REFERER;
if($reffer) {
$yes = 0;
while(list($domain, $subarray) = each($okaysites)) {
if (ereg("$reffer",$subarray)) {
$yes = 1;
}
}
$theu = "url"."_"."$site";
if ($ADMIN[$theu] AND $yes == 1) {
header("Location: $ADMIN[$theu]/$file");
} else {
header("Location: $ADMIN[defaulturl]");
}
} else {
header("Location: $ADMIN[defaulturl]");
}

?>

----------------------
readme file
1, Open download.php and edit these 3 varibles

$ADMIN[defaulturl] = It will redirect people to this url if they are trying to link to your downloads off there site
@okaysites = sites which can download files off your site
$ADMIN[url_1] = A location to a download folder with some downloads in it

(to add more download locations just put on a new line in the script)
$ADMIN[url_4] = "http://site.com";
$ADMIN[url_5] = "http://site.com";
$ADMIN[url_6] = "http://site.com";
and keep going up a number for as many as you want

2, Upload the script to your website

3, Now just link to the download you want by doing [yoursite.com...]
On that link it has ( site=1 ) that means it calls the download location ( $url_1 )
just change it to what you want so it calls the correct folder
------------------
i tried to change my linking but it doesn't work for me, could you see what the problem with this code?
thanks verry much
John

I don't see any glaring issues with that code

what exactly doesn't work?
