Destroying links after a set amount of time.

[TonyP]

Im looking to create a site that provides users with a link that will download a fle and destroy itself after a set amount of time.

Anyone got any ideas how to do this?

Use a database. Store the link in a column. Then add a timestamp to it. Then, just delete the row when the timestamp is expired.

Or, create a link with the timestamp built in. Then, just extrapolate the timestamp from the link, and decide whether or not it's valid or expired.
