Two quick questions

[L]

Hey,

[Or at least I think the questions are quick]

 

Question 1: How can I make it so when you click a button a file starts downloading(so people can't see the link)[File chosen by $_GET values]

 

Basicaly if isset($_post['dl']) "download file"

 

Question 2: How can I make it so when people donate(via paypal) something is updated in my database saying they donated(giving them special privileges)?

 

Thanks

in answer to your first one that is easy, write a function to do the download for you instead of it being a direct link and you have the button call the function, so there is nothing to show what it is doing, I have a simple javascript function on one of my sites that is called by a button

function checkPasswd() {
var password = '';
password=prompt('Please enter your password:');
if (password != null) {
location.href= "checkname.php?group=beavers&reply=" + password;
   }
}

I realise this is just a simple check function but it does re-direct to another page and the button does not show any information about the page as it is calling a function not a link.

 

with regard to your second problem I am afraid i cannot help with that

Q1: Try this: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,95433.0.html

 

Q2: I would imagine that PayPal has some sort of API you can use to check who that have donated. Try to check out their developer central.
