Wildhalf Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 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. kieron Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72873-expiring-download-links/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 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.

Wildhalf Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 That would be half of the problem i suppose. I will need to encrypt the link also.
