Hi Adrian,

I had the same dilemma on a project I was working on, and came across this:
http://www.vibralogix.com/linklokurl/index.php

It basically adds an authentication code, which can lock the download to an
IP address and also you can limit the life of the URL to a length of time.

You can also store all the documents below the web root.

It's not free, but for $30 dollars it was well worth the investment and
saved me plenty of time! 

HTH,

Kev

Subject: [PHP] displaying documents stored under web root

Hi

After some advice (surprise!)

I currently store restricted documents beneath the web root so they are 
not accessible via the URL, when a valid user wishes to view a document 
i copy it to a temporary folder above the root and load it in a new 
page.  the only way i can then manage to delete the copy is 
automatically deleting all temp files when any user goes to the log out 
page.

This is obviously not a very good way of doing this but unless i can 
establish when a user is no longer viewing the doc then i dont know when 
to delete it.  I was wandering how others deal with these problems like this

any advice appreciated greatly

Ade
