Hi,
I am trying to put a file to download. I want it secure so only the
people having the password can access it.
I made a page that requires a password.. if the password is correct it
changes the password send it on my mail and redirects
the user to another script. This script searches in the database for
the id given with GET and finds the name of the file
which is md5(something). it changes the name of the file in md5(smth
else). After that it searches in the download folder
for a file named md5(smth else). if it finds the file it gives you
the link to the file.
So i need to find a way to change the filename after the user
downloads the file. to keep it secure so the user
wont be able to share the link to oters.
if you need more info ask :D
thanks
and sorry for my bad english .
Sounds like you are overcomplicating it. Following what you've already
done though...
Have the original files stored somewhere outside of the web root. That
way they aren't accessible whatsoever + you shouldn't have to change any
of the files at any stage.
Then you can simply update/change the ID that associates with it in your
database when that URL is hit...
