[PHP] Password protected downloads

[Maldiv]

Hello,

I want to make a password protected download possibility on my site. I know
how can I handle normal user login, but how can I protect a download from
guests?
I mean if user navigate to www.demo.com/mydownload.zip than he can download
the file without login. How can I prevent this downloads?

Thanks for your help!

This question has been often asked in the past, the archives are rich 
with solutions. One solution is NOT to create a direct download link but 
to deliver the file via a php script (fpassthru) that can check login 
status. Another is to use .htpasswd protection you will find lots of 
details in the archives.
