Never figured out how to get this to work. Could someone possibly write up a simple code in php to show how I can get this mysql file retrieving??

Looking for something like this but written in OOP: http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/php-mysql-upload.php Anyone know where I can find something like this? Been looking on google for ages. :(

Heh! Cool, thanks for the help!  ;D

Instead you will have to place the files in a directory that is not accessible from a web browser. Then you would have to make a download script that works like this: index.php?act=download&id=1316 The script would then check if the logged in user has permission to download file id 1316 (file data is stored in the database). If they don't, show an error message, else load the file, sent the correct headers and echo the file. [/quote]Was thinking that this might be a solution. However, maybe something like this would be better? url.com/clientfiles/clientid/file.zip for client only files and url.com/clientfiles/all/file.zip for all clients? htaccess protection? Hmm not sure, your database storing for files sounds good! How would I go about making something like this?

Lets say I have a login area for clients. Clients can download files. Some clients can download the same files as others but some of them  have files only meant for them. All files are stored in a certain directory. How can I make it so that if someone tries to access a file eg. http://www.domain.com/files/clientfile.zip it first of all checks if they are allowed to download the file or not. If not, it gives them a warning, otherwise the file downloads. Thanks in advance for any help and for your time!  ;)
