I shouldn't be in such a hurry. On review, use file_get_contents($file).
The point is to put the actual file in a directory that is not web
accessible directly. This prevents people from guessing at the filename
and pulling in your unprotected private information.
I'm not positive, but you'll probably have to set the headers to set it
as an attachment and the mime-type pdf.

Feed it through a PHP page.
Something like:
<?php
if ($_SESSION['Auth'] === true) {
// set headers?
fread('/not/web/accessible/dir/file.pdf');
} else {
echo 'Denied, foo.';
}
?>

Hi,
Anyone know a simple way to read-protect a file/library via a php
login? I have a login page which starts a session but there are
certain dynamically created result files which I need to protect from
potential prying eyes.
For example, you can connect to https://www.mptf.org:75/docs/TF2.pdf
but I want to find a way to test your login status before permitting
you to view this file. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Regards,
Nicholas Hart
