You folks have done this a thousand times so it's cake to you. This is the
first time I have had to make a Powerpoint download available only to
authenticated users. Tell me if it's this simple:
<?php
/* download.php pr something like that */
// authentication logic. Then, if they're logged in...
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=whatever.ppt');
header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint');
readfile('whatever.ppt');
And yes, I think I will put an apache directive in there to deny direct
browser access so they can't defeat it by accessing
http://example.org/password-protected-area/whatever.ppt. Or maybe put it
somewhere outside the public html.
Is that it, or am I missing anything?
