the best way is to have the zip file outside of the http directory and make the person log in before downloading. Pass them to a new script that you would create that checks they are logged in and if they are to include the file they wish to download.
The following is such an example, of course before this you would need to make the code that ensures the user is logged in.
PHP Code:
$file_path = '/home/username/downloads/filename.zip';
if(is_file($file_path))
{
$file_mime = mime_content_type($file_path);
$filename = basename($file_path);
$filesize = filesize($file_path);
header('Pragma: public');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Cache-Control: private', false);
header('Content-Type: '. $file_mime);
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'. $filename .'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . $filesize);
readfile($file_path);
}
P.S. I never wrote this I got it from another forum (members name was maxymize)
