Hello

Is there a way to make a Temporary Download link with PHP. I have google it but nothin really came up.

Thanks,

JDEN

I'm not sure I understand... What do you want?

swordz i think he means,
like when you upload a file to like lets say 10minute host, as the name says its only for 10 minutes

I thought he might, but wasn't sure.

Just add a time stamp, and check the time stamp, surely?

I want to make a Temporary download link to a file, that the user can only download the file with 3 shots and when the first download starts the link will expire after 24 hours.

Just to clear things up..

JDEN

Create a table that stores the time of the first download and the file name, then check it if people try the link.

Im a newbie to PHP so could you write up a code or link me to a exapmle of it. Thanks

I doubt there's a pre-made script out there for this, but it's not that tricky. PM me with details, and I'll discuss it.

swordz

do as someone previously stated..

except create a cron job to run a php clear script to dump xhour + links out of the db.. No need to hold the information in the db if its not valid anymore.. eh?

Either that or use a status change.
