Re[2]: [PHP] MIME type detection on file

My files are outside web server. These files can not be accessible from http://...., but anly user running web pages (nobody or IUSR_) have access. This limitation is to secure user files. My primary target is to deliver files to user using web browser. If I use require() or insert it is not possible in win32, but if file contains valid php code it is *very big* security hole. How to do this. Mime type tells to browser, wht to do. I can only display binary stream like text ... Could You know, how to send file like .dll, .exe, .php to client without executing on server-side?
