hi,

I put a file "setup.exe" in a directory "downloaddir\"

I want to build PHP code, so that only registered users are able to
download the file.

How to make the directory / files only available to registered users using
PHP code?

(So that other users cannot download the file using direct url
"http:\\www.abcd.org\downloaddir\setup.exe" )


I can give you the basics of this and hopefully someone can fill in the gaps... What you need to do is put the actual file above the webroot... and then set the include path to include that, then you have your script go and fetch it.

Maybe this way makes more sense:
<HD>
	<Web>
		<Downloads>
			<mydispatchscript.php>
	<INC>
		<setup.exe>
</HD>

so basically, in your php.ini file make sure you include the <INC> directory and include the whole path to it. and you will be able to access it but no one will be able to access the file directly.



TIA
Rian
