title: php access files outside of apache
body: <p>I have a project where Red5 is recording videos. I need PHP to be able to access the videos and move them so they can be accessed by HTML.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this?</p>
  
  <p>I found this post: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5570085/accessing-files-outside-the-document-root-with-apache">Accessing files outside the document root with Apache</a></p>
  
  <p>But it involves updating some file that was never specified. And I'm not sure it is a viable solution in this case anyway.</p>
