Hi all, I have an internet shop. When someone buys something, after the payment is confirmed, the online shop sends out their personal download link in an email. It has all been working until recently, customers have been complaining that they haven't been receiving their download links. I just received a letter from my ISP stating that emails have been blocked because there are too many being sent out that look similar. I explained that this is not spam, and that it is a genuine email containing customers' login details. The ISP have said that there is very little that they can do; that even if they were able to mark my emails as 'not spam' in their system, there would be problems with it getting through some receipients ISPs as well (who have also got similar spam protection in place), and they don't control that. Is there anything I can do to get my customers login details to them in an automated way, without having to type it by hand every time I get an order? Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I do have some knowledge of whats going on behind the scenes- can't build decent websites without it, however, I can't program a brand new programming language from scratch. I'm asking for source code and instructions on how to implement

Lol Oh of course! Now it all becomes clear to me. Set a flag in the database. I think if I knew how to do all of this, I wouldn't have been asking As I said before, I'm not a php programmer, so if anyone knows how to carry all of this through, some help would be most appreciated

Thanks, This sounds like it might work- is there a way to tell it to only allow one download per username?

I'm selling downloadable products, and accepting payment using paypal. I then manually email the download link to the buyer each time, and then manually change the link every 48 hours. This is to try to prevent the link being abused or mis-used. I know paypal can direct buyers to an after-payment page on my website, but I basically don't want the download link to be the same every time, as this can be distributed. Is there a way to do this automatically somehow, i.e. provide secure downloads to buyers, for one download only, without me having to send out manual links? I'm not an advanced programmer- I just use dreamweaver and edit dreamweaver html code. I have implemented some simple java and php in the past, but a long time ago. It would be helpful if there is a way to do this that I can implement myself (I would prefer not to pay a monthly fee to a service to do this for me, but to set it up to work from my website). I hope this makes sense! Thanks, Matt

D'oh! Its fine, turned out both pages were pointing to different images (i.e. one had a broken link) - very strange that the 2px fix worked!! Anyway I changed the link in line.html to a root-relative link and it now works. Thanks

I'm baffled by this: Page 1 - Lines appear: http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/index.php Page 2 - Lines vanish: http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php The code is identical in both pages- the only difference is the content table. If I make the lines 2pixels high in page 2, it suddenly re-appears, but I can't work out why. The lines should appear in both pages. I've been trying to fix this for some time, so any help much appreciated.
