Question

I’ve hit a dead end with this code I’m working on. I have a website where users can register and will be able to view certain pdfs when they are logged in. My question is though, how do I hide this file to make sure that only those currently logged in can subscribe. I keep track of my users with a MySQL database and have been using PHP for all the server side coding. Ideally, the solution won’t involve the user having to sign in again or anything like that. I’m not necessarily looking for code (though its always appreciated :D), but any bump in the right direction would be great.

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

Answer 1

if(isset($_COOKIE['login']))
{
    header('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
    readfile('secret/books.pdf');
    exit();
}
else
{
    include('login.php');
}
