Expiring download links

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I assume this is possible but can not figure out how to do it. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I want to create a script that sends customers a link that expires after 24hours. This way they can not send out the link to anyone else.

 

hope this is enough info.

When you give out a link, you can store it in the database along with the date you gave it out. Then setup a cron that will delete all the links in the database that are 24+ hours old each day. When a user goes to a link, check if that link exists in the DB, and if it doesn't, it gives them an error.
