I am able to generate a link using my file upload system, now after five visits… i need the link if opened should display a message it has been expired.
<?php
function display_upload_form()
{
echo <<<DISPLAY_UPLOAD_FORM

<title>Yet Another Upload Form</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">

I am using the following code which i got.
You’re likely going to have to store the counter someplace. A text-file, or preferably a database. You would benefit heavily from a single-table database that has a field for the file, and a field for the current count.
When the file is requested, you check the count from the database. If it’s < 5, you deliver the file and increment the value. If it’s >= 5, you return an error, and remove the file.
