Hi folks,
I want to make a temporary download page, whereby someone completes their credit card transaction and then is sent to a URL to download their product, and the URL is valid for 60 minutes or 3 attempts. Standard stuff.
My background is in Lasso, not PHP. In Lasso they'd get a URL like:
http://www.domain.com/download.lasso?id=sdhf63hgf
which queries the db, and if it's still valid, the response is:
[Header]
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: Lasso 6
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="desiredfilename.pdf"
[/Header]
[Include_Raw: '/actualpathname/filenameonserver.abc']
Can it be done the same way in PHP, or do you have to use symbolic links, cron jobs, etc.? Thanks,
- Brian
