Hi,
I made this site in PHP that has a page with some PDFs to download.
My costumer wants that only subscribed people are allowed to download
the PDFs.
I've already made the subscrbe and login mechanism.
Now, my question for you is about letting only subscribers download the
PDFs.
What is the best approach ?
Register a session when they login and then in the PDFs page apply a
if email is registered
you can download the PDFs
else
you can't
Something like this ?
Or is it there a better way ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards

One popular method is to place your files outside of the webroot.
This makes it so people cannot access the files directly. Then create
a PHP script to read the file to the user with the correct mime type
using a header() call. This way you force the user to have an
authenticated session before a file download is started.
