File downloads
Hi,

I have a script which shows the direct links to the files that are to be downloaded.

Now I want that If the link is clicked then it should go something like this:

http://www.xx-d-d--d.com/downloads.php?id=2

So now this downloads.php will lookinto the database and see the download URL of the file ID numner 2.

And it should load a download and maybe display a message like "File Downloading..."

I tried this with headers but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

If any one know how to do this then please let me know.

Thanks.

AFAIK, headers is the only way to secure the files pretty well.

Read this thread for more info, the posts near the end are important. Worked for me!

Well my scenario is a nbit diffrent one.

I am making a software repository script.

The file is to be donwloaded from others server and the message is to be shown like "File downloading. Please Wait...." etc etc.

I have seen this on many sites but can;t remember it right now.

Mybe I will donwload a GNU GPL script similar in function and look at the code to get som ideas.
