Are you trying to let the user download the file? if so, can try something like this
<?
/*Do your login checks here*/
define(\'FILEDIR\', \'/yourdirectory/filesfordownloads/\');
$path = FILEDIR . $file;
if(!is_file($path))
{
print \"File does not exist!\";
//header(\"Location: error.php\");
exit();
}
//force download dialog
header(\"Content-type: application/octet-stream\\n\");
header(\"Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\\\"$file\\\"\\n\");
header(\"Content-transfer-encoding: binary\\n\");
header(\"Content-length: \" . filesize($path) . \"\\n\");
//send file contents
$fp=fopen($path, \"r\");
fpassthru($fp);
?>
