RE: [PHP] How do I hide download link ...

Have a page that checks the user's authentication if they're "invalid" then display an error msg and exit the script otherwise, send the header command(s) for attaching a file (can't remember the exact syntax right now) read the file from somewhere that's not accessable from the web and spit it out to the browser HTH Martin -----Original Message----- From: Fargo Lee [mailto:fargolee@iname.com] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 6:15 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] How do I hide download link ... Hi, my customers go through a password authentication to access a link on my site to download a file. I want to prevent the distribution of the location of this file on my server by making it hidden. Is there any php function(s) that could assist in doing this? All I can think of so far is storing the original file in a hard to guess directory, when a authenticated customer goes to download it, send them to a script that copys the original file to a temp directory, they download the file in the temp directory and then run a cron every so many minutes to clear out the files in the temp directory. If anyone has any ideas, examples or a way to improve on what I came up with please respond.
