Stuffing the actual data into your database doesn't really give you much
added value to tracking who is viewing it...
Write something like this:
---------- display.php ----------------------
<?php
$query = "update stats set count = count + 1 where filename =
'$filename'";
mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
# If it's the first time this file has ever been displayed...
if (mysql_affected_rows() < 1){
$query = "insert into stats(filename, count) values('$filename', 1)";
mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
}
readfile($filename);
?>
---------------------------------------------
You can then put your PDF files *outside* your web-tree so nobody can read
them, except like:
http://yourserver.com/display.php?filename=foo.pdf
