[PHP] protect downloadable files
Hi, I have some zipfiles in a directory and wonder how to protect the files? I send the customer to a downloadpage with links after succsessfull login. What is best to do? chmod the files when I upload them and change chmod if I have a verifief user? Any suggestions? -- Regards Jan Grafstrom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] protect downloadable files
Make the download link a PHP page: download.php?fileid=199 Then check to make sure there session is valid, and what not and then use the header function to make the browser know it's supposed to give a save dialog box. I don't specifically know the code, but I know this will work. On Thu, 2002-12-12 at 10:56, Jan Grafstrm wrote: Hi, I have some zipfiles in a directory and wonder how to protect the files?
