A while ago I did this, but can't find the file now... I dunno if it would work for you or not, but it did for me.... I took the first 10 characters of the session id and created a symlink to the doc file, or pdf in your case, then the person got the file. When they logged out, the symlink was deleted. As long as the original file is not web accessable, no one can ever get it unless they're logged in. :) Jake > -----Original Message----- > From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:daevid@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 4:10 PM > To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: 'Mário Gamito' > Subject: RE: Downloads for subsrcibers only > > Look at mod_auth_mysql.
