phpQuestioner Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 you need to set-up a user login that allows the only your member to access the download file. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81146-private-file/#findComment-411757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpQuestioner Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 here is a script that I use for a pdf file download: <?php $file="myfile.pdf" // add file's url to this variable header("Content-type: application/force-download"); header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' .$file . '"'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); header("Content-length: ".filesize($file)); header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file . '"'); readfile("$file"); ?> you will need to validate member before allowing them to access this script.

beansandsausages Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 the easiert way to download some thing is set a link <a href=\"mysite.com/downalodfile.extension\"> download </a> but then any tom dick or harry could download it if they knew the link. THAT IS NOT A SECURE WAY TO DO IT. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81146-private-file/#findComment-411838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
