Hi,
Store all files in a 'secret' folder, preferably outside the www-root.
Store filename, size, type, date, whatever in your dB.
To link to a file, use something like this <a
href="download.php?fileid=3">MyDoc.pdf</a>
Then in download.php you update your stats table with the relevant info and
then send the file to the user.
| download.php |
<?php
updatemystatsdb($_GET['id']);
$filename = getfilenamefromdb($_GET['id']);
$filetype = getfiletypefromdb($_GET[id]);
$completefilepath = "/your/path/here/$filename";
header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream\nContent-Disposition:inline;
filename=\"".$fileName."\"\nContent-length:".(string)(filesize($completefile
path)));
$fd = fopen($filename,'r');
fpassthru($fd);
?>
This is not complete and I'm not really sure about the headers, but you can
read more at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php
