Question

I’m developing something like games shop.
There is a dir contents a lot of exe games on the server.
F.e. url to game looks like http://site.com/games/gametitle.exe
I need to protect the url from multiply downloads.
I can include the md5 user’s ip into the url http://site.com/games/md5($ip)/gametitle.exe
but how to process it?

Answer 1

Take a look at using readfile and header to pass the file contents out to the page, and use sessions to track how many times the user has accessed the link.
