hiding documents

[kubis02]

Hello.

I need solve this problem. I made authentification through sessions (PHP+MySQL) for registered users. When registered user is logged he can download some Excel documents (href='doc1.doc'). How to provide these documents only for registered users? Documents are in for example on http://myweb.sk/docs/doc1.doc. If some unregistered type this URL to IExplorer then he can download this document. How to provide these documents only for registered users? Thank you.

I found

function download($file,$filename){
$size=filesize(urldecode($file));

$attachment=(
strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"Mozilla/4")===false // Not Moz4
|| // or
strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"MSIE")!==false) // is IE
? ' attachment;'
: '';
header("Content-Disposition:$attachment filename=".urldecode($filename)."");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

header("Content-Length: $size");

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

readfile(urldecode($file));
}

on this forum. This is adequate for me.
