[PHP] Simple example of expiring download pages?

[Brian Dunning]

Hi, I'm building a very simple online store and I need expiring 
download pages for people to download the items they purchased. 
Surprisingly, I couldn't find an example of this code online.

I know how to do it in Lasso, and it's quite easy. You just search the 
database against download attempts or expiration time/date, and if it 
succeeds, return this (it's Lasso code but you get the idea):

[Output_None]
[Var: 'file' = (Include_Raw: 'pathname/sourcefile.zip')]
[Var: 'filename' = 'product.pdf']
[Var: 'content_type' = 'application/pdf']
[Header]
  HTTP/1.0 200 OK
  Server: Lasso/6.0
  Content-Type: [$content_type]
  Content-Length: [$file-Length]
  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=[$filename]
[/Header]
[/Output_None][$file]
Can anyone suggest the PHP code for this?
