Emir Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hello,Basically, I am wanting something like this to happen: A php script copies a file from a directory that is unreadable by the public to a directory is readable. The person then downloads this file and somehow the file is deleted afterwards. Is there a way to detect when a person is done downloading a file?I am not sure if this is a good or even feasible way of accomplishing what I want. If you know how to do this, of some tutorials, or any other alternative method, please let me know. I simply am wanting to make a site where someone purchases a "file" and the file is delivered to them while keeping the files unreadable at their source.Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,Emir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I will not provide you with a script...however, I will point you in the right direction:[code]<?php header("Cache-control: private"); header("Content-type: application/force-download"); header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n"); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\""); readfile($directory.'/'.$filename); unlink($directory.'/'.$filename);?>[/code]You need to modify this and implement it into your code. But please do not come on here asking for scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 If you're going to be selling something or dealing with ecommerce, I suggest not coding it yourself if you lack the experience. Far too much liablity and problems.http://www.turnkeywebtools.com/products.php?p=ss-shopping-cart-softwareThat software (Coded in PHP) supports digital downloads already. And they provide support for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emir Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 I apologize for coming across as wanting a script to solve my problems. I only desired to be "pointed in the the right direction." Anyway, Caesar, thank you for your time, what you have given me should help me greatly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
