Very true ... if someone is dedicated enough they will break almost any security you place in front of them. I would say SSL, PDF with a password, and a strong warning about not leaving your computer/personal files unattended would do the trick ... :) Regards, Matt. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Berlioz [mailto:cberlioz@paycomonline.com] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 12:08 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: Pay Slips Matt, Yes, I agree PDF's can be easily broken but what cannot? Serving the check/voucher on the browser is not such a good idea cause the user might leave and the page will be left unattended for everyone to see, same goes for any file that you serve them once they open it with the password, and the same goes for paper mail. Let me know if you find "the perfect solution!"
