[wdvltalk] Re: Programmatical authentication for .htaccess

[Howard Cheng]

If Stephen's suggestion won't work for you, you can stick the files in a 
directory underneath the web root and protect that one directory using 
.htaccess. Since you're going to email the files to the user after they 
pay, the browser doesn't need to be able to access that directory -- 
just your script.

Forget .htaccess.  Just don't put the files in the web root.  Most
hosting packages allow you at least some access to the file system
outside of the web site's root, so stick the file there.  Your scripts
will still have access to it, but Joe Browser won't...
