i used following code for downloading file.whenever the members cicked the
file for downloading ,the download request (with the variable containing
file id) was send to download.php .The download.php on recieving the file id
fetches the url of the fileand redirects to the file url using
Header("location:$url");
where $url is the full url of file such as
http://www.abc.com/downloads/file1.zip.
so finally the url is exposed to the members who circulates the url in mails
and everybody downloads the files.I want that only members can download the
file.is <http://file.is> there any solution.
