Re: Tracking file downloads

See my posting I just made about "How do I hide the download link ..." You'll want to use a similar method with the download.php. You may not have to check for a session, but you can use the scirpt to keep track of what file was downloaded, increment it's counter in a database, or send an email, whatever. then send the header() and file content. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "PHPCoder" <internet@vsa.co.za> To: "php-general" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 7:18 AM Subject: [PHP] Tracking file downloads > Hi > I would like to know any ideas on tackling the following: > > I would like to have people give me their details via a form and then > allow them to download files from the server, and I would also like to > keep track/record of the files that are downloaded.
