Now, I would like to have a limit of one download/user. Is there a way I > can limit the downloads with PHP or even an Apache configuration? The simplest way is to set a flag via a cookie - very easy with PHP. Something along the lines of: if (DOWNLOAD) setcookie('has_downloaded','1',time()+60*60*24*(number of days),'\'); However, knowledgable people can see through the cookies system and delete the cookie from their PC, allowing them to download more. As I said, it's only the simplest system... Symeon Charalabides (cosmopolitan trainee) ------------------------------------------ http://www.webmate.gr
