waynew Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Use a table. Update the table value -1 each time. Wallah. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114293-newbie-question/#findComment-587714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronister Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 do you mean per user or in total? In total is easy, do what waynewex said and use a database table and just keep track of the downloads there. If it is per user, then you will need to have some way to identify the user and then do the same thing with the database table.

chronister Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 IP, but that is not real reliable when dealing with Dynamic IP's, proxy hosts and the like I would probably make a membership system and identify each user by their user name, or userID Nate Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114293-newbie-question/#findComment-589850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
