Hello, everyone. I am SO new to PHP. I have installed a few PHP programs, but I am not a PHP expert. I can program in PERL, but I am self taught, not a expert in that language either.
Here is what I need to do. I have a few files, that I allow certain people to download, but I don't want just ANYONE to be able to download it from MY site, for bandwidth reasons. So, how do I pass a file for download to someone, so that they cannot see the actual location of the file?
I bought a program, called PHP Live! or something like that. But when I downloaded it, I could NOT see the location of it. The download just started, I looked at the html, and it was NOT in the html code generated by PHP, NOR was it in a javascript, or anything else. How did they do that? I wanted to get the url, and put it in my download accelerator, instead of waiting on ONE download. takes 4 times longer that way, so I always use the accelearator. Could not that time. pretty fantastic, I was very impressed.
Can someone please tell me how to do that?
I can figure out how to write the rest of the page, and stuff. I'll do most of it in PERL, since I know it, then I can forward them to the PHP page, where they can download the files. So I just need to know what to tell PHP to do, please.
Thank you sooooo much.
Richard.
