Hi, im making a site wich will display some swf files, my boss wants the swf files to be stored out of the html directory, but if i want to show them from the site im having problems, ive been reading about and it seems that by normal means u cant reach higher than the html folder in the tree directory, is this true?  
ive been looking around in [php.net](http://php.net) but i didnt find what i was looking for so i invoke the supremme wisdom and intelligence of the almigthy users of this forum for help :jailbreak  
where can i find good information on this?
